    A BCO was killed in a collision with another tractor trailer Thursday night after the eastbound tractor trailer crossed the center line and hit him head-on. The driver was 25 y/o Edward Gage. He was a young fella and one of our flatbedders. Our condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones. The other driver was transported to the hospital but the extent of his injuries are unknown. I-10 was closed for several hours because of the trucks was carrying drilling mud and the entire load spilled onto the highway. RIP Driver.

    I am so sad to hear another driver lost their life and so..so young at that. Please Lord watch over this person's family and give them peace and comfort as they have lost their loved one. RIP driver.
