Trucker's widow wins support in push for more safe rest areas

"A transportation bill headed to the Senate floor includes Jason’s Law, named after New York truck driver Jason Rivenburg, 35, who was killed in 2009 by a robber after he pulled his rig into an abandoned South Carolina gas station used by truckers as a rest stop. The robber got only $7, and Rivenburg left behind a son, then 23 months old, and a wife, then pregnant with twins."
