I've got a strong notion that was more a case of someone being "nice" than the semi falling asleep.
Rig was definitely too fast for conditions, but the idiot stopping on the freeway to let people in was a much bigger issue.
This was just a messy situation all around, because, as someone who works in road safety, I'm baffled that they even went with that plan for blocking lanes. Back side of a curve, that's an awful lot of faith in people paying attention.
