NTSB looking at risk parked semis posed to Greyhound bus in fatal Illinois accident

Big rig driver David Cherno was hauling Jimmy Dean sausages on Interstate 70 when he had to stop for the night or risk violating federal regulations limiting driving time for truckers. An Illinois rest area was full, so Cherno parked on the wide shoulder of the exit ramp leading to it — a common practice for truck drivers. Just before 2 a.m. Wednesday, Cherno was awakened to a frightening jolt that sent him airborne into his dash.
