i drove by on the westbound when the tow truck was taking away the tractor that crashed it did not look good it was a small ball of smashed metal and plastic i hope the driver made it my bad i posted this before reading the links sad we need to focus on the road that split sec can be all it takes to have this happen

wow man not good
-
twice in same area in two days ? whats up with that it's flat and straight...... or is that the problem, it's flat and straight...
-
Construction areas?
Who knows?
I read some of the comments on the facebook sites and it mentioned construction.
I have not been through the area in months. -
the area is flat straight road the problem is construction they are pushing everyone into the outside lane right after the 112 exit by the TA meaning that every truck looking to exit the east bound at 112 is pushing others into the hammer lane that is closed within 300 feet from the exit that is what i saw and that is what i think does not mean i am right...
-
That stretch is under construction......one is lane is milled down so there is uneven pavement. ThIs is a fast stretch of road....sorry to hear this.
