    Truck Driver plummets 30 feet while exiting wrecked rig
    Note to self. If you cant see the ground and the truck is in no danger of falling. STAY IN THECAB!
    I am going out on a limb here and speculate the driver thought they could just walk around their cab when woops! the driver slipped.

    My guess is that this driver is one of those rebellious souls who don't think that maintaining three points of contact while exiting their tractor applies to them.

    Also, I found the closing statement from the reporter to be most curious: "If it's live and breaking, you'll find it here."
    Makes me wonder if the responding EMT's thought the same thing.
