I-80/94 Indiana

Failure to secure load on tow truck should have been citation. The article says the 18 wheeler flipped over. More likely just lost the front axle with a jack knife.

 

Looks like a front end failure with heavy trailer stopping slower than tractor,to have a object jump that wall and strike you at speed would be bad, probably didn't know what hit until after sliding to a stop and climbing out and looking.

 

I was coming out of Gary at mile 5 west bound soon after. Hour and a half to cover 2 miles. And there was another wreck on the eastbound side around mile 2. Total mess.

 

Some dude had a super single grenade on 5 a few days ago. Almost the whole thing dead center of the travel lane.
Fortunately it was near an on ramp, so I went into the gore, and the ramp and went around it at speed.

What if you hit one of those? Your front end, oil pan get WHACKED bad.
