2/3/18 Crash Near Patterson, CA

Strange - a container hauler.
Usually they’re top notch drivers.
Must have been a 4 wheeler involved.

Hope the driver is OK.

 

Too tired and fell asleep. That’s a long drive from LA I Always use a radar detector and take my chances. I refuse to drive 55-60mph for 300 miles. He was almost at Westley too

 

Maybe the other party involved is the one in the left lane... hopefully driver is okay

 

I am thinking the driver drifted over. the dirt is tore up on the right of the pic

 

The rumble strips on i5 are like creators. They shake the truck up really good. You’d have to be in deep sleep before you get to thwork curb/dirt

 

Coming out of Cali on I 40 had another roll over east bound..perfect weather conditions..fell asleep I bet..

 

Friday morning about 05:00, between Little Rock and Gurdon, AR, a dry box layed it over on the right hand shoulder. And down the road, a flatbed went into one of the deep ravines of the median of I-30. It was cool weather, but perfect driving conditions. Both accidents looked like the drivers fell asleep.

I think ELD's are rearranging sleep patterns for some drivers in a negative way.

Maybe drivers in the past were fudging their paper logs not for monetary gains. But were fudging their logs to get some decent sleep.

 

Medical condition,animal,blown tire,to add to speculations here.
