Swifty plummets 60 feet from interstate 5:fatal

That section through Stockton is a 55 mph work zone. I go through there 55 in my truck and car and just about get run down like a dog in the road.

Very disheartening to discover those bridge guardrails are about as good as speghetti.

 

Bobtail. Day cab. Ouch.

R I P, driver.

 

I couldn't agree more.i thank the lord I was trained right,if not that could've been me.

 

Where did you read this info?

 

R.I.P hope it was painless

 

People in ca have no respect

 

Especially if the driver of another rig "helps" out with that bite, as is inferred in the video....Wonder if the other driver took off.....

 

Sounds like the Swift day cab was hit by a pickup truck that lost control hauling a trailer. Conditions were rainy and slick.

I don't know if the day cab was bobtail or hauling a trailer and disconnected before plummeting off the bridge.

 

Man that is scary. Them 4 wheelers with trailers and them rv's hauling cars scare me especially when they are all over the road

 

Amen. I've had to take evasive action three times in the last year on freeways: refrigerator dropped on the road in front of me, couch dropped on the road in front of me, and a rolled up mattress dropped on the lane next to me that I cleared over so the truck passing me had room to avoid.

"Civilians" aren't trained how to load, secure a load, balance a load, hook to, or drive a loaded trailer. My alert level goes up when they are around.
