  1. If you ain't carrying life saving emergency supplies then GO SLOW! Even then you should still be careful!

  2. RIP Driver! I've been driving for 17 years, a fella sure see's alot.

  3. Not much left of the truck. My guess would be the driver lost control while driving too fast. Being distracted while using the phone or something else, is also often the culprit.

  4. Texas has one of the most dangerous drivers! They drive super fast there.

  5. Driver fell on his back inside the cabin and got crushed by the bottom of the truck. Check your tires, pay attention and dont spend much time in a car, folks. Exercise πŸ’―

  6. Now THAT'S a crash and burn πŸ”₯

  7. Sadly 10 Texans did Not die

  8. Free like if you can guess what the cargo was

  9. It’s surprising it doesn’t happen more often. I was on a turnpike this weekend, truckers driving 80, passing on the left, weaving thru traffic like selfish twumpers. It used to be the truckers who drove the safest, respected speed limits that we respected for the impossible job they have to grind through daily. Now many drive recklessly.

  10. They need taller and stronger guard rails on highway overpasses.

  11. Now a days, being a truck driver can get innocent people killed on the highway. If you are a truck driver, find a safer job. Don't be the reason why a child never sees their mother or father ever again.

  12. Former US president Donald Trump's prison detention continues with what is still communicated as without temporary leave for public appearances and media presentations. His diabetes has recently progressed to the point vision is blurred beyond a few metres with the internet access television mounted close to his prison cell being unusable for viewing purposes.

  13. Im a truck driver, and can tell you, its really not that hard to drive these things around without smacking into sh*t and crashing and dying.

  14. the barriers on the side of these highways should be designed so this unique event never results in truck falling off the overpass – a simple process and may actually give opportunity to reduce the cost of the construction of the infrastructure

  15. That is unfortunate. But at least they died doing what they love.

  16. Definitely a nightmare scenario. The ntsb will sort out what happened. Prayers to truckers family. Terrible way to go.

  17. Cell phone went off overpass.

  18. This is the second time this week, same spot

  19. Thanks for the great updates I got my credit repair, all hard inquiries and my eviction notice removed when a friend recommend maskoffweb
