    Anyone have any info on the Western Express flatbed rollover at the eastbound side of I-70 mm 204 in Colorado yesterday? When I went by they had the cab covered with a yellow tarp. It was quite the mess.

    You're welcome. I was suprised to read that he made it out ok, too. I wouldn't have guessed it, given the condition of the truck.

    Knowing how some Colorado folks think this would be a rollover of 5 times...
    1uprite
    2on its left side
    3 on its roof
    4 on its right side
    5 back upright

    NO WAY IN HELL THAT TRUCK IN THE PHOTO ROLLED 5 COMPLETE TIMES!!

    That was a van trailer not a flat.
