This is the second accident that involved a Ratliff truck within the span of a few months in Copperas Cove! There was an accident in February by the 7 Eleven on 190, where the driver of the cement truck that was in the middle lane tried to change lanes to the right land, and ran into a blue civic. This caused the civic to turn paralell to the truck. The truck then pushed the civic about 20 feet or so before coming to a stop (it looked like it had been tboned). Luckily the driver was not seriously hurt. These drivers have a greater responsibility to follow the rules of the road because they are more likely to cause serious injury or death.
