    I know the truck behind me did stop at the next rest area to change his undies. We both stopped to calm down had us both scared. Some how he got enough control back to keep it in the hammer lane then over onto the hammer lane shoulder but facing the wrong way. Al I could do was grab my mic and yell east bound BACK IT DOWN EAST BOUND 2-3 miles later the guy in the doug truck behind me got beside me and said I'm going this rest area up her to let these shakes ware off I joined him to talk about what just happened

    That's what I figured, trying that, well, I've only met a few people that stupid and they'd never drive for a living, they can barely walk and breathe at the same time...

    If he actually tried to make a U turn at that spot in those conditions that may be a nominee for bone head move of the decade but I agree it does look like he slid sideways. Even in perfect conditions and at a paved crossover making a U turn on an interstate is pretty dumb unless you have pretty lights on top of your car. I hate when I see 4 wheelers do that. One things for sure he was driving to fast for conditions
