    It fell asleep and just fell off to the side.

    It must have been a lack of training or something.

    The log probably works for WalMart.

    The semi was not going to stop, not going that fast. I'd say straighten it out and keep rolling.

    My guess is he panicked because the woman who was in the car was probably standing in his lane talking to the driver of the truck that stopped.
