    So this happened about two miles away from my house on the highway that I travel on most days. Whats worse is that my girlfriend was with me as we passed this rolled over truck. She already barely supports me going to trucking school.

    I don't really believe anyone was seriously injured or killed in this accident. I hope the trucker is ok and can recover and keep doing what he was doing. When I drove by I did not see a trailer, but seeing as he was right on the edge of a ditch, he could of been pulling something.

    Still plan on leaving for truck school on 8/15.

    Truckers deserve a lot more credit then they get from the public.

    Man...lots of damage everywhere. The road looks like straightaway. I wonder if her jerked the wheel to hard or something.

    Zoom in on the pic. There’s no tread cap on the right steer tire.

    Just a hunch. The driver got onto the guard rail. Then they were there for the ride. Its what would have torn the front axle off.

    I don't know how it is in other parts of the country, but at least in ct, there such an abundance of beautiful older trucks. There are so many still rolling down the road.

    It's straight down hill for maybe a half mile. This was right after the crest of the hill.
