Multi truck wreck on the Ohio Turnpike 5-30-09 at about 9:45 PM.
It appears one truck clipped the rear of another, sending the first truck into a skid and turning over.
This wreck happened about 1 1/2 truck lengths behind me and I saw most of it happen in my rear view mirror. Both drivers shook-up, but other wise ok.
Overturned truck blocked east-bound lanes from guard-rail to Jersey-wall at the 187 mile marker.
187 is "10-Code" for murder.

hey those are my stomping grounds! too dark to recognize the location though.
saw a close call last night... speed limit was 70, subcompact was doing 53 in the middle lane, old bronco was doing 85+ in the middle lane... with everything i've heard about suv's and evasive maneuvers i never would have believed one could swerve and dip like that without rolling over.Last edited: Jun 1, 2009

I am re-editing the video and adjusting the bright and contrast to make it easier to see. I should have it uploaded by this weekend.

I-80 east bound 187 mm, just past the I-480/SR 14 interchange.
You can see (above the west-bound lanes) the exit sign for that interchange, even if you can't read the actual sign. -
