My wife, Dale Ann, was the driver of the Jeep Liberty. I am a long-haul truck driver, pulling a tank hauling cryogenic gas. In fact, I was in Oklahoma City unloading when my daughter called me with the news about the accident. My wife is a very cautious driver and was not across the center line. If anyone has question concerning the accident and what really happened please contact the Taylor County Sheriff's Department. Our hearts go out to the Ashcraft family.

Everytime a truck driver wrecks, its automaticly the truck drivers fault, as the police say...I've been trucking with bucky for 2 years now. Bucky knew the capabilities of his truck, and how to take turns at a safe speed. If everyone would go and look at the skid marks on the road, you can almost see what happend. Buckys skid marks start in his land of travel, and run towards his side of the burm, almost like he was trying to get out of the way of someone. HE NEVER CROSSED THE CENTER LINE TILL THE TRUCK ROLLED OVER... I was trucking that same streach of road all day friday, when i was coming to that turn, I saw a car passing another truck, HEADED right for me. The car almost didnt make it. THAT STREACH OF ROAD NEEDS TO BE WATCHED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Gonna miss truckin with ya bub. we had some fun times together.

I really don't know why every time there is an accident involving a truck, the first thing that happens is everyone starts pointing fingers at the truck driver.

Actually, the person driving the jeep was a woman - Dale Ann is her name.

I am friends with Bucks kids. Im not sure if im correct but I heard that the man that was driving the Jeep passed the car in a blind turn and hit Buck causing him to run off the road and then flipping his truck and while his truck was on his side the buick car hit the cab of the truck and was not pinned against the guardrail. Im not sure if any of this is true but supposedly the person that is working on the case said the Bucks skid marks didnt cross the yellow line until he flipped the truck. My prayers go out to the family and friends of Buck and also the ones who's family was involved in the horrible accident. Buck was a very wonderful and loving person and he will be dearly missed.

Seriously Tammy, your post choked me up! Very thoughtful and we appreciate your kind words. If the world were full of people like you, it would be a MUCH better place! I do not know anyone involved, but would like to say that your families are in our hearts. I am sure Buck knew what a wonderful sister he had! I'm not even religious, but will be saying a prayer for all of you tonight!

Tammy that was such a kind thing to take the time to say while you are going through this horrible pain and grieving. I'm sure your brother was a kind man. This was a tragic accident. I will pray for you and your family as well as the fast recovery of the others involved in the accident. God bless you!
