wow! how does that happen? the right lane is at least 50 feet away from the left shoulder. Did the trucker jam the brakes when he saw the trooper and jack knife? -Jaseun

Maybe he started sliding, panicked, hit the brakes and it went downhill fromo there. It looks to be quite an icy turn.

That is Cabbage, kiddies.

The uphill portion heading eastbound. Nasty road. It's odd to jackknife going uphill, no?

I'm almost 100% certain that truck is a division of Interstate Distributors.

I didn't know it was that there was that much ice on the roads yet.
I live in the tri-cities. With that much ice, you would think he would take it easy on that hill, hard for both trucks and cars. Safty first....
