A video recorded several crashes and even more cars that slid off the road in Indianapolis Tuesday when drivers crested a slight hill that obscured their view of a Comcast Xfinity repair truck parked in the right lane. The road was covered in slushy snow, falling snow further hampered visibility, and braking was difficult.
Comcast has issued a statement about the video. -via The Daily Dot
There's no excuse for failing to remedy the problem you are causing, after multiple accidents have occurred to prove the danger.
A kid running onto the street for a dog or a ball won't put up cones either, so clearly the drivers are to blame in this case!
Comcast will be paying for damages and they should be praying that there are no hospital bills nor deaths.
Also, every linesman and telecom repairman I've known has mentioned at least once how they have strict rules about where to park their truck when doing work. Even in the best conditions, accidents happen, and it tends to be much easier to deal with smashed vehicles than a smashed person. Regardless of the reasons, arguing with a worker over a potentially strict company policy is going to just be bad for everyone involved, especially when standing somewhere that you've already stated has bad visibility...
