    The tractor was under the end of the trailer hanging over the bridge. I saw some pics on a news site for that area, and there wasn't much left of that tractor. The engine compartment was gone and the frame was ripped off the tractor. It was pretty ugly, and the photos I saw on that one site sent chills down my spine.

    It seems like fed ex has had a lot of accidents lately.

    We just one here in Indiana that involved a Fed Ex truck and three other vehicles, with two fatalities.... the fed ex truck hit a wheel that was in the middle of the road that had fallen off a Millis trailer. One of the Fed Ex trailers broke away and crashed into oncoming traffic.

    Wow, that is tasteless. A man died, not really a funny if you ask me.

    I saw somewhere while looking for those photos again that he may have had a massive heart attack.

    I drove by this wreck on I-40. It was the worst I've seen in my short career. It's sad a man lost his life, may he rest in peace. I won't soon forget seeing the wreckage. It's a steady reminder for me to slow down, drive careful, and arrive alive. Ya'll be safe out there.
