Its a good thing they did...Not to many people seem to have the marbles to do this anymore for a tanker truck could explode at anytime....

That's what this was too, was going to fast for the ramp and the tanker tipped.
A few years ago I was in that same spot when a truck came off the ramp to fast and fell over blocking all 3 lanes of 465. No one was hurt, but we were stuck there for at least 2 hours.

They have GOT to learn to slow down...the ones that live are the lucky ones...Did you know about 15 years ago a older man about 65 was driving through oklahoma city and his truck going a bit too fast went off a bridgeand he died well the KJ103 radio hosts had to odasity to say he deserved it and had people call in and agree???? That is wrong and well they were gone that day...they worked there no more...I love my truckin buddies always have...
