Now trust me I am not reporting this to bad mouth older folks heck I am starting to get there myself, but I find this a bit strange?? This is True. An Accident happened yesterday locally where the two drivers were killed one guy was 77 and driving a pickup truck the other guy was driving a Cement Truck. HE WAS 83?
Seems sort of old to be driving a cement truck. I wonder if you can even get a CDL at that age?? What ever the case may be I would bet there will be a lawsuit over this one.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Department identified two people killed Wednesday afternoon as the result of a two-vehicle collision in the Town of Bennett.

The cement truck driver, Albert Tielke, 83, of Solon Springs was flown to St. Mary’s Hospital in Duluth, where he died a short time later, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department.
The accident is being investigated by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department, Medical Examiner’s office and Wisconsin State Patrol.
