    Had the drivers side steer blow out, or a steering component let go. Wasn't holding on, or couldn't hold on. Unbelievable that they all survived, especially the people in the car that went thru the railing and down to the lower deck.

    Looks like he was gong much faster than other vehicles in his lane and he was trying to avoid hitting a car in front of him. Ironic.

    sounds like the accident i read about yesterday about a 4 wheeler cutting across 3 lanes trying to make the exit and the truck hit it and the ensuing chaos followed.

    Frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of being out here with inattentive morons. For me, the job, the risks, the being associated with many, many bad drivers, the long hours, lack of quality time with family and friends, the idiots at the fuel pumps, the general day-to-day hassles, the construction tie-ups, apu's that can't keep up with the 100+ degree afternoons ... it's just not worth the mediocre money. I'm going to call obama tonight and see if he'll hook me up with a government program or two.

    Looks like a heart attack or something. Most people would use the brakes. It's not icy but looks like an ice skid. Weird.
