    Drove by this last night as they were helping the driver out of the cab of the bobtail you see in the picture.

    apparently a truck trailer hit this bobtail forcing them both into the center divide which the combo tipped over.

    The other semi laid it over blocking all lanes of south bound traffic.

    Good to hear no one was seriously hurt.

    That sure was a sketchy news account, and I didn't find anything else on it in doing Google search.

    Hey that's a swift truck. Wonder if the one laying down is Fed Ex. Those would be the 2 most likely culprits in this situation.

    The news stations here are absolutely worthless. Alot of tomes they will edit a story and just leave the original print in there, so you have accurate and inaccurate info contradicting e qch other

    You think it is bad up north, you should see what it is here in St. George. Our local so called newspaper, "The Spectrum," is locally referred to as "The Scrotum." One of our most popular radio stations, a C & W station, (KONY) reads select articles from The Spectrum as their "morning news report." I'm telling you, it is totally pitiful.
    The one bright spot here, is a fairly new on line news service called St. George News. Prior to them coming on line, if you wanted news from Dixie, you had to subscribe to the Trib. They carried much more news, and much more in depth for down here, even though they are out of SLC.
