Looks like the driver was saved by his seat belt, they shut down 70 for the helicopter to land and take him into St.Louis.

It sounds like he is doing better at the hospital with no reason why he rolled over at the moment. He sure did a number on the truck, all that fiberglass on them does not protect you at all. Prayers that he continues to improve.

They have several times on the news this am that without his seat belt they don't think there is anyway he would have survived. He was upgraded to satisfactory condition this morning so it seems to be going in the right direction. They are still investigation but reports form other drivers is that we passed a long line then when he got back in the right lane just kept going right off the side of the interstate. He certainly had his angel riding with him last night!

That's a straight road? Had to be a medical problem or blew a steer tire or something? Nobody just keeps on changing lanes.
I hope he has a speedy recovery and a good excuse.
