    This 25 year old driver was going way to fast.He was on the ''overpass'' and this overpass is a 40 MPH curve.He flipped his tanker over the overpass and landed on the highway below him.He then landed on another trucker below him.The ''innocent'' truck driver below,minding his own business,lost his life.

    Somehow I missed seeing this happen by no more than a minute or two... Coming back home a couple hours later through there at a snails pace I was on a separate over pass and could look right down and see it all. The fact that anyone survived shocks me from what I saw...
    This happened 10 days ago now and I've been looking nightly for any updates and haven't found anything.... While I dont want to judge not knowing anymore of the story, that ramp isn't that bad in terms of sharp curves and this company runs nice well maintained trucks so I would have to lean towards a shot gunning driver too... Sad...

    Photo gallery left a lot to be desired. I'm guessing the red tractor was pulling the tank. It looks like it crushed a small box truck.
