Crane driver decides he wants a lift

Crane driver jackknifed on i285 nearby the Jonesboro, ga exit. Managed to block off all lanes headed southbound/westbound and knocked over the concrete median to the opposite lanes blocking off one lane. Guess if you gotta screw up, do it right the first time.

According to the story, nobody was injured, thankfully.

My guess? His GPS told him to do a u-turn.

 

No. Didn't have time to book there. I'm on the CB from Georgia to Mississippi for the next 400 miles today. Later tomorrow I do my return tour.

I'm in a Schneider truck, so it should be really easy to catch me; just go 62mph.

 

No, that's the right 285. What the article doesn't say is that nobody moved for that duration. The ones that were lucky enough, like myself, knew how to get around it all. Atlantans are very impatient and as a result there's always 6 different ways to get to the same place.

...you're right though. Should've been far worse.
