    OK now i get it. Try separating those two things out in separate paragraphs, people can think the two things go together. I was thinking KB is pretty hardcore to fire drivers for simulator crashes

    I'll admit my typing isn't the greatest but even worse now that I use my phone.My guess would be that driver fell asleep because there wasn't anything that would have caused him to flip.

    God bless his family. People think trucking is easy, there's a lot driver's have pay attention to it's also mental stuff that comes in to play.

    Anyway, I don't understand how the truck made it that far off the road and hit the side on the bridge with that much force.
    Had to have veered off at a pretty sharp angle unless this picture is a little deceiving image.jpeg
