Facebook comments were saying that the driver was arrested?

There were a lot of drugs in the car. He was not arrested on site while I was there. As the wrecker was pulling the car aside, the state trooper was just starting the field sobriety test.

Some of us advised him to clean up the car but the guy refused and was worried about his friend. Before the cops arrived

We tried to break the door off to get better access to him. I don't know how but somehow I managed to peel back a big chunk of the panel and lodge it under the roof.

I don't know for certain because we were covering him with towels and blankets but they said his leg was really bad and maybe the artery was hit. It looked like he was laying far back in the seat with one leg on the dash and one under. Tbh, if he was sitting up he might have been decapitated.

Yeah, that's the right idea. Help him destroy the evidence of his crime that may have caused the whole thing. Good on you.

Piss off dude. The guys friend is mangled in the car and he is walking away scratch free. It was a spur of the moment comment.

And no one there knew the cause. We were just dealing with the situation at hand

Just got through east bound, an 18 wheeler looks to have taken top off/run over a car with its back tires. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a fatality. People outside of their cars westbound, of course the eastbound traffic is held up as well from the rubberneckers.


The car rear ended the 18 wheeler.

He didn't. He swerved into the 18 wheeler when he was on side of it.

I only saw weed, pipe, and scale. Some beers also. Apparently they had other stuff but I didn't see it with my own eyes.

How do you have a wreck bad enough to need air flight on a two lane one way bridge.

The first dispatched ambulance was east bound and couldn't get to us.

Air was the fastest way probably

Dude people drive like MANIACS on that bridge, and there is little room for error. If somebody does something stupid it usually means they are hitting a concrete wall going at a minimum 60MPH but more than likely 70-75.
