Video of truck driving down the wrong lane. ------ Truck Plunges off Overpass Killing Driver The driver of a -------trailer is dead after he drove the wrong way on a major Edmonton highway, then plunged off an overpass yesterday. Police began receiving reports of a truck going the wrong way down Yellowhead Trail shortly after 1 p.m., said spokeswoman Karen Carlson. The rig drove the wrong way for 15 kilometres, seemingly trying to hit oncoming traffic, said trucker Ken Kerlak, who said he spoke to several motorists who witnessed the incident. The -------trailer finally climbed the concrete barrier along the overpass, rode it as if it was on a monorail, then toppled off and landed upside-down beside train tracks and burst into flames. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Full story here
Idiot.. What would possess him to do that? =\ Oh.. I'll bet it was because of a woman.. That's the only reason I can think of that would drive me insane enough to do that =\
They've ruled out a medical condition as a cause of the crash. Namely it was diabetic shock that they thought made the drive lose control of the vehicle, but now they've disproved that. Link Here
That is crazy and sad. Just glad he was the only one hurt, despite it not being cool he's hurt either.
