    One of my friends got stuck on the freeway for 2 hours until they routed traffic around the accident, he had heard there was a fatality, but no other details.


    They can't ask the driver what happened, my condolences to those she has left behind.

    How do you come to the assumption it was either CRST or Swift....or even any training company for that matter?

    Two women, different last names....no conclusion can be considered...it was a truck with 2 drivers is the only conclusion available.

    It was Covenant Transport. I heard from a co-driver that went through during the cleanup that this was a nasty accident. Truck went off the highway and down steep embankment and landed on RR tracks below.

    My prayers to the family.

    I really doubt he is the only one certified to do extrication in the 3 county area.

    I am on the fire department in our town and the entire county is rural and there are more than 50 certified in the county.

    At our department...everyone is trained on the use of extraction equipment. FD's learn how to work as a team...no solo operations in this group!
