This is the aftermath of a pickup truck driving the wrong way from I-40 to I-35 in Oklahoma City at 2:30 in the morning. I came across this scene at about 9:00 am.

2:30 am = "Beer Thirty" in my book.
I love to drive in the wee hours, but Beer Thirty is when you MUST be on the watch for drunk drivers. The bars close in most states and counties at 2:00 am.
This "accident" happened in the left of two lanes on the exit from northbound I-35 to westbound I-40 in OKC. The recommended speed on that curve is 50 mph. I take it slower if I'm heavy or top heavy.
I can't imagine the horror of initiating that curve and seeing a pickup coming right at you. Likely pinned on the right by "roller skates" (4 wheel vehicles) and nowhere to go. -
One of the reasons i hate driving at that time period.

The load. How is the load?
I notice in the article it said they had to remove the driver from the cab in order to take him to the hospital. -
perhaps you could give a heads up to the time mark that is relevant to the story. -
True that. I'm a total rookie at editing my videos.
