Report
Truck #62 driving very erratically this morning (6/15/22) on Route 202- extreme speeding and came up behind me and almost rear-ended me on the ramp (driver swerved over on the shoulder). Stopped at the red light (end of Route 202 ramp and Paoli Pk) to go left but then was "gunning" the light. Looked like an older man with grey hair.
