    I was tearing ### back from Connecticut this morning and prior to the Sturbridge (I84) exit there was a semi perfectly flopped over onto the shoulders guard rail.

    No responders present.

    And i wasn't going to lay on the brakes - even tho this may have warranted 'just cause'.

    My phone shows an 'Emergency call' @ 0057 to the MA State Police - after my double take and WTF moment.

    Just wondering if anyone has any 411?

    I feel a bit guilty.
    Best case scenario (it's been raining all night): He hit the soft berm and flopped over....

    He ran out of hours and had to give his truck a 30 minute rest break

    Lol, it's possible.
    I haven't found anything on it, so it must not have been major.... and while it was a long night, I know I wasn't hallucinating.

    42000 lbs of potatoes is what I heard took half the morning to get it righted and the right lane reopened.,Driver refused medical treatment.I think they said it was a carrier from up your way in Maine.I heard about it on the morning news and slid by on route 20 and never tapped the brakes
