People with pickup trucks need to learn how to secure cargo..

This afternoon I witnessed a big accident that could have been avoided if people in this state would actually take the time to secure their cargo..
I was going south on the Everett Turnpike.. A full-sized sofa fell out of a pickup into the fast lane. The guy didn't even stop. There was an Audi A6 behind the truck, and it swerved to miss the sofa, but hit it anyway. It was rear-ended by a Camry, both cars spun into the barrier and a Corolla hit them.. The rest of us had to slam on the brakes.. Luckily nobody was tailgating me.. my ABS was on. I turned on my hazard flashers to warn the people behind me.. The wrecked cars were blocking the left lane and the middle lane.. People were screeching to a halt and swerving all over the place. It was intense.
SECURE CARGO.
