    Not sure of the condition of the driver but didn't look good

    Here are his trailer tandems

    Whats left of the truck

    And this is what he hit

    As I went by, it looked like he missed the bridge, took out a bunch of guard rail, hit the bank on the other side at an angle (there was a bunch of oil where it looked like the dirt bank took out the oil pan) and the pine trees near where some of the people in hi-viz vests were was damaged like he hit the trees.

    With the amount of guardrail ripped out and damage to the trees, I think he was rolling and either had a left steer blow, fell asleep, or drifted left and caught the edge of the pavement. That stretch of highway is in sorry shape and they are kinda trying to do some work to it, but even their attempts at repaving are rough as crap.
