First of all, John Morris is one of the nicest people I have ever met and prayers have been answered that he is going to be okay. Secondly, those of you ranting on about who's fault it is: were you there? Nowhere in the article did it say that it was the truck driver's fault. It said he was "struck by a southbound truck" ... that doesn't implicate the driver being at fault. God be with him if it does, especially in a construction zone -- ticket fines double.
