Where: I-10 near Sabine River Tx/La border
When: Incident happened at 6 a.m. Monday 5/19/08, after driver reportedly dozed off and drifted off the main lanes.
An abandoned SUV was taken out as the truck headed for the swamp. The truck shifted and rolled on to it's side, taking out a tree and leaving the motor in the muck.
The driver had to be cut out and when he was freed he came out on his own - cut, bruised and banged up, but no broken bones...........Amazing.
In this area, there are a huge number of these types of incidents - 50 so far this year, but this is one the media didn't cover. I think they were scared of the snakes and gators.
Drivers. Please get your needed rest so that you do not drive drowsy, pull over and get that 15 minute power nap if you have to so that you can make it back to your most important stop......Home.
