    As if this company hasn't gotten enough press in just the past two weeks and now has this. I saw it myself on my way to ms. Clear skies, no wind, usual traffic for rush hour. Just don't see how this could happen.
    And after all the press they've received lately. Good Grief! Hand me that freight so I can get it where it's going!

    Since the driver was unhurt, I don't feel bad about making a snippy comment....as in, that's one way to get out of your lease agreement.

    That looks pretty nasty and the driver walked away. Would be interesting to see Swift release the cam footage but that will never happen.

    Maybe he missed his turn and was trying to get on I-30? The GPS told him about a shortcut?

    Sounds like another one not paying attention. At least he did the right thing once he realized he couldn't stop in time.

    ...when the driver tried to avoid a slowing vehicle in front of him, spokesman Bill Sadler said. The driver veered to the right trailer and tumbled about 50 yards from the point of impact with the driver inside. and cleared 12 feet of guard rail before striking the overpass' support pillars. The cab of the vehicle separated from its
    Emergency crews spent 10 minutes extricating the driver, who sustained minor injuries to a leg yet was able to walk away assisted by emergency workers...
