    Unfortunately, I'm stuck in the aftermath of this one. I've been here for almost 3 hours. Apparently a Werner driver ran into the back of a flatbed. His rolls of paper came down through the cab and killed him. Two others hurt.

    Stay tuned for a link with pics I'm sure someone will have some soon. I'm parked right in front of a travel plaza and left my truck on the interstate to go walk my dog and wash my hands to fix some lunch.

    I guess that's right at the service plaza? Any number of things could have led to that sort of incident, most all driver error related, possibly on more than 1 count.

    I'd heard on site that he died. If you'd have seen the tractor there was nothing left. I don't see how anyone survived.

    I learned many decades ago, never trust "trucker reports" (about anything)
