I wonder if he was heading south when he had that uneven surface that’s been there for a long time and even made worse by the resurfacing

“Northbound” is used twice in the description. Hmmm

I hope all the cats in Meyers stay home and don’t run down the freeway after that milk.
Oh, and remind the driver that there’s no use crying over that stuff.

The name “Myers” Flat, is not spelled Meyers. Meyers is along the southern route to Lake Tahoe.

Ive been taking the time to note the percent of semis traveling over 60 mph…well over 50% most days. Its going to get worse after the richardson grove debacle gets finished.

I watch chp turn a blind eye EVERYtime they are in the zone to do something. I wonder what percentage of fatal accidents involve semis?

Do you ever note how many cars and pick-ups are going over the 65 mph mark. Alot more of them speeding than the trucks.

Just hope the driver is fine. Don’t know how it happened, but I am sure it was not a fun ride.

~oh, ha, ha. Joe Dirt wonders which way the tank of milk was headed. I do too. It could have rolled from south lane onto the north lane – not?
