Overturned tractor-trailer shuts down parts of I-81

Overturned tractor-trailer shuts down parts of I-81

VA
Quote:
An overturned tractor-trailer has both southbound lanes of Interstate 81 at mile marker 150 in Botetourt County closed.
Truck driver Demetrice Tillman was pulling onto southbound 81 from the 150 exit when investigators say his load shifted and his truck overturned. The 31-year-old from Maryland was taken to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. He is listed in fair condition.

I wonder if the load was tied down, sometimes some guys are so cocky they know everything, they forget to slow down when going around a curve.
