    I know,right. Can’t tell if it was a T700 or a T680. Look to the left of the photo just below the police interceptor. The truck skeeballed quite a bit! Maybe the driver fell asleep behind the wheel or was distracted.

    "The accident and subsequent rescue happened on the evening of January 3rd near Casper, Wyoming.

    According to Oil City News, the semi truck overturned on Interstate 80 near mile marker 51, trapping the unnamed driver inside of the twisted cab."

    I noticed that, too. Didn't know Casper was so close to I-80. :biggrin_2556:

    Yeah, when they said "near Casper," they meant "between Lyman and Little America." Casper is at least 250 miles from there as the crow flies.

    That's why I said 'as the crow flies.' It's a lot easier to get to Casper from there in the air than on the ground.
