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?????

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….???!?
