Wilkes,CO.,NC.Semi flatbed crashed on a run-a-way ramp killing 1 of the occupants.

Very dangerous driving off mountains as I learned very quickly. I remember the first time I was east bound on I-40 going thru Ashville, NC and I went the speed limit off the mountain, by the time I got to the bottom my brakes were really smoking. When I got back to Charlotte, I asked some of the drivers about it. They laughed and told me you can never go the posted speed limit, just try and hold it below 55 mph. Next time I went thru there, hardly any smoking brakes!
