Saw this yesterday 06/28/14 on Interstate 80 in Nevada. Truck was blocking both eastbound lanes.
Clear blue sky, dry pavement, no wind...any thoughts of what could have possibly happened here?

The road was way too straight for him to operate safely.
Lux Prometheus and Dinomite Thank this. -
love the music.. trying to figure out where you are..it's somewhere between carlin and battle mountain. haha
It's a really pretty drive, so maybe the driver got distracted, and the speed limit is 75 out there anyway..blowout? -
Looks like he hit the median from the same direction you were going and rolled it as he bounced the other side.
Might have been trying to drive, txt and make a sandwich at same time and steer tire left pavement and jerked him over. -
It is straight out there so maybe he went to the sleeper for his 30 minute nap.
Either fell asleep or had a major mechanical malfunction, but i'd say sleeping.valerchekk and Dinomite Thank this. -
Hell...next time slow down a little so we can get a better view and make the call.

Roadrunner... Coyote... Wrecked Acme truck... I think we can figure this one out...

Maybe he was too busy taking videos when he was supposed to be driving?
skibum_63 Thanks this. -
fyi, in the state of Nevada it is prohibited for the driver of any vehicle , to hold a cell phone in hand while driving. ( big signs at every state line. )
Maybe the guy was texting. -
It never varies. Rookie at the wheel of a truck. Veterans don't crash. Don't believe me? Ask one.
