Wednesday, April 02, 2008
A Canadian truck driver drove into oncoming traffic for 20 minutes at hig=

speeds before dying in a crash when the truck went over an abutment, as se=

on eyewitness video obtained by FOX News.
The truck driver had a medical condition that may have contributed to the
incident, United Press International reported.
In the dramatic video footage of the incident, the truck hits a concrete
guard rail on an exit ramp near Edmonton, Alberta, becoming airborne and
falling onto railroad tracks, before exploding.
The truck clipped several cars and numerous others were forced into a ditc=

along the highway, but no one other than the truck's driver was hurt,
according to the UPI report.
The driver, 25-year-old Mark Santos, was an insulin-dependent diabetic, hi=

brother Jordan Santos told the UPI.
A witness of Monday's afternoon crash described the driver to reporters as=

looking "mad," "angry" and "zoned out."
"He was basically slumped down, head down, bobbing around, arms hanging do=

at his side," Dave Hybeck told FOX News.
The driver's brother said he's been around his brother when he's gone into=

hypoglycemia and Santos would be confused and sleepy.
"You don't know what was going on inside of the cab of that vehicle; you d=

know what that person was thinking, so all of those pieces are what our
officers need to bring this to a conclusion," Edmonton Police spokesperson=

Karen Carlson told FOX News.
Autopsy results were expected later in the week.

Hypoglycemia is a very real danger both for diabetics on glucose-
lowering medications and those around them if they are operating heavy
machinery.

The brain absolutely requires glucose to function normally.

Yes. However, it would be reasonable to consider revoking a driver's
license if a diabetic is having frequent hypoglycemic episodes because
his/her diabetes is not optimally managed to prevent such
incapacitating events.

What if the diabetic kills someone with his very first "episode?" Why
do we have to wait for something bad to happen before we yank
someone's license?

Everyone is at risk, it's just a matter of the risk amount.

The visual impairment from cataracts would be more than frequent in
that it would be constant. Such a person would not pass the required
visual acuity screening to renew their license in the first place.

Truth is simple.

You sould like Aunt Judy.

That argument could be made about anything, including your Vette.

Where do you draw the line?

That's right. The simple truth is diabetics who can fall into
hypoglycemic comas at unpredictable times should NOT be allowed to
drive.

The surest way of preventing hypoglycemia would be by curing the
type-2 diabetes by losing the black fat (VAT). The smartest way of
losing the VAT is by eating less, down to the right amount:

You seem to be ignoring the fact that many diabetics, especially if they're
the more common type 2, aren't likely to have any hypoglycemic comas.

That would be your opinion rather than truth as evident by your use of
the word "should."

Again, truth is simple.

It is possible for you to fall into a hypoglycemic coma at any moment
if GOD so wills it.

Yes, it is. People who are a danger to others on the roads due to
their medical conditions should not be permitted to drive. That's the
truth (not to mention the law). This guy's doctor should have filled
out the Canadian equivalent of this form
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/ds/ds326.pdf
and reported him to the DMV and gotten his license yanked. Notice that
Diabetes is specifically listed on this form, indicating that, despite
your OPINION, it is a cause for concern to the folks who actually give
out driver's licenses.

about the same number as it would for you to kill someone while
driving while you have the flu,

a severe cold and taking cough syrup,

etc.

So because that is a very real possibility,

you driving while impaired, your license should be revoked now. you are a
menace to
society.

ANYONE can have a heart attack at the wheel, and have been in 'good
health' up until that point......... i know........ my uncle died of a
heart attack at the wheel while doing 60MPH and 3 people in the car he
hit died :(
i guess under that logic YOU shouldn't be driving either?
