This accident occured at exit 15b (westbound) in Tillmans Corner Al, friday morning. Yall take note, this is a bad exit! The entry to this exit is "right" at the end of an overpass, which is kinda at the top of a hill, and somewhat in a curve. The ramp speed is 30. And it come's up on you quick trying to go from 65-70 to 30 off of I-10 with no turn lane. (good luck).
On my way home tonight I passed the exit and noticed some skid marks going into the exit. It was raining today, and I figured the driver locked it up and just rolled it making his entry. But after I watched the video of the scene, this is at the base of the exit, onto hwy 90. (which is equally as dangerous as the entry on this ramp).
I havent heard much about the Driver, other than he was taken to the hospital, with injuries. (i'll keep you posted if I hear anything). One of our drivers who was in the area said the tractor was in pretty bad shape.
