Very lucky driver in this incident. It's a looooonnngg way down if that truck would have slid over the guardrail.

Everyone got lucky on this one. I got caught up in it on the west bound side and was talking with my dispatcher when the fuel tank blew. They cut a hole in the guard rail at the turnaround to get us out.

Hey then Wine'O I think that was really sharp thinking to make an escape route.
I see a lot of crash scenes where traffic gets to sit around some times for hours before the wreckage is cleared.
