Damn gaurdrails…
JUST JUMPED OUT IN FRNT OF THE DRIVER, WITH NO WARNING EVEN.
Good thing having the guardrail there. Otherwise the truck would have gone into northbound traffic and possibly caused a head on. No if everyone driving wouldn’t behave like an idiot and slow down, the entire accident scene would be gone in a short time. BUT the idiots are driving way too fast to allow ample time for truck removal and lane opening.
I seen that same truck and trailer earlier (about 11:00am) on Hwy 101 and turned onto the Hwy 36 off ramp to go East. Not sure what he was or is hauling. Maybe sawdust, hog fuel, shavings?????
“Saw” Mr Whitehead.
I saw him earlier to hauling corn he was on his phone. Does the driver even have a class a lic? I doubt it.
You are idiots hate to break the news but there are more than one of those trucks out here
Now, that’s funny!
Drove by it soon after it happened. Before there was CHP or an ambulance on site.
Can’t figure out how the driver did that. The oddest thing was that the right side of his front bumper was creased and folded out, while the guardrail was on the left….???!?
Not a guard rail that’s the cement meridian wall
