    That was a 2 million mile Werner truck. Whatever happened to the tractor of the other they must’ve hauled off-there’s nothing left of that except the rear axle!

    Looks like werner was practicing (being snide) his alley docking on the freeway and some one reminded them that freeway traffic goes in one direction

    So Werner hit the loose trailer?? Aw man.
    RIP driver.

    Looking at the video, there’s a rear axle underneath the front of the trailer. I wonder if there was a U-joint/driveshaft issue.

    According to the article, yes. He was 59 and his female passenger is 26.

    wow....2 million miles and dead. I guess no one expects the guy in front of you is gonna drop his trailer in the middle of the highway. RIP driver.

    2 million safe miles and then gets a trailer dropped in front of him at night. That is a bummer.
