38 car drivers die for every trucker in a car vs 18 wheeler truck accident.

Shouldn't have been in the left lane


He was in the right lane, rubbed the right bridge rail, then shot across to the left.

Probably wasnt his fault. People get some serious cases of the stupid when cutting trucks off. Lucky they don't just run people over more often.


however, the truck went off the bridge in the left lane where trucks aren't permitted to be. He could've swerved from the right lane but I see way to may trucks in the left lane and lots going way over the speed limit.

I'm no engineer, but if that median is like a normal bridge I'd guess he'd have to hit it from a pretty good angle from the right lane to go off like that. If he was in the left lane he'd hit it at a very slight angle I'd think the rail would of kept him on the bridge? In other words he must of made a hard left turn from the right lane to smash through?

Let's not pretend truckers don't pull some crazy stupid behavior too... especially on the Basin.

This trucker cited for careless operation:
