The body of a second man was found underneath debris Tuesday morning at the accident site of a big rig rollover near Colfax Monday, officials reported.

“This morning, as the investigator was going over log books, (it was) determined there was possi-bly a co-driver involved,” Ruiz said.


Ruiz said the driver of big rig had only had his license for nine days.

This was a nasty accident yesterday that I just managed to avoid, but I saw the cleanup afterwards. One thing that I find tragic is that the second driver was not discovered until this morning, almost 24 hours after the accident. I doubt that he was alive yesterday after seeing what was left of the wreckage, but what a horrible thought that he might have still been alive.

This is really sad, I would guess it was the trainer in the bunk.
The driving schools are pushing them out to fast and they are not ready.
Wonder if this was a truck belonging to a company with it's own driving school?
Maybe some one needs to look into change on new C.D.L. driver's rules.

I believe i have to agree with you.. too many inexperienced drivers out there due to companies putting them on the road too soon.. This is such a tragedy..

They still haven't released the company name yet, and there wasn't enough left of the wreckage for me to tell. All I know was that it was a white Freightliner.
