    The rolls was around 2500lbs and I am not sure but from the look of it I think they had some of them stacked that on top of that ramp is banked the wrong way If you look at it it is actually banked to assist you rolling over even if you went around it a 10mph you will feel yourself rolling to the right. and the fact that all the trees block your view. It is easy to misjudge. There have been complaints about this interchange and they claim there are plans to redo it but they dont have the funds. I live within walking distance and it not uncommon to see one rolled over there a few times a year the last one just a couple months ago.
    He was unfamiliar with the area and missed judged the curve and I dont think anyone that has driven have went through life without misjudging a curve or turn.
    And is the 45mph what they pulled off the truck computer or what Lexington Police calculated if it what the computer says its hard to believe he didnt go down the embankment If its what Lexington Police calculated well I'll leave that alone
    As far as 180ft of guardrail it was tore up the lenth of the truck and maybe another 40-50 ft behind the truck

    ALL Said Prayers go out to him, His family and the walkins sheapard family of drivers

    We had no idea he was from Ut. He just lived about 5 mi from us...Hubby is on his way home, should be here sometime Sun, perhaps we will get the opportunity to attend his services.[/QUOTE]


    If you are able to make the funeral, would you let the family know that his fellow truckers from Remembering Fallen Truckers (FB cause) sends our regards and sympathies.
