It was reported that a truck driver who was involved in a fatal accident had traces of amphetamines, marijuana and barbiturates in his body. Guess what? It was a lab screw-up, or so they say. No drugs. Oops. You want to be very careful about using drug tests as a basis for these glaring, eye-catching headlines, because drug testing doesn't work very well and when they do these multiples, looking far all kinds of substances, they're downright terrible.
