    Looks like Messilla Valley makes their trucks so aerodynamic they can't be controlled, like a paper airplane.

    What's freaky to me is this is 3 trucks I can remember in the last few years just driving off over passes, caught on tape.

    The chic that couldn't decide which way to go, hits the barrier, fuel tanks plummet down on 40 and explode.

    Swift that drove off the bridge out in Amarillo.

    This dude.

    These are on tape. So how many actually occur?????????

    You're driving along......and then there's a Cummins in your lap. Make for a very bad day.

    New Mexico State Police say that a semi truck traveling east on I-10 struck a light pole in the median, causing the 68 year old truck driver to lose control and drive off of the interstate overpass onto Avenida de Mesilla below.​

    I'm not 100% positive, but I think he may have been out of control before hitting the light pole.
