    I drove by this scene from the southbound lanes of I-85 this morning.

    Very severe damage was done to one of the support columns of the overpass.

    I didn't see the remains of the truck, but what was left of the trailer was still there.

    Prayers to the victims' families.

    I've been parked at the Pilot in Duncan, SC since yesterday. That was all I heard about on the CB for most of the day. My prayers go put to the families of all involved.

    You know I find it amazing how. An elected cornor can say "I know he was tired from working all day". Truth is he doesnt know crap. For all we know he could have just taken over driving.
