Does anyone know what trucking company this was? Who was at fault for the accident? What happened?

I don't know, but I may get to go that way after I get emptied out in Lakeland.

Thats a miracle that no one else was hurt or killed.

If you go to this part of their website, then look through the video clips...you get an idea of what might have happened. To ME, it looks like the tanker went off the bridge trying to avoid being involved with a "Can-hauler" and 4-wheeler that were tangled up in front of him.

Watch the news conference clip, the news helicopter clip...and listen to a couple of the 911 calls.

Be careful out there, especially around tankers. I guess he swerved to avoid someone. If it was me, I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and hit the car, unless you're able to swerve and NOT put your life in jeapoardy like this brave man did. Poor fella left behind a family

I've heard a lot of guys say they'll just keep the wheel straight. I've said it too. But I can also tell you that when the time comes, your reactions have "INSTANT SECOND THOUGHTS". You can not say what you really will do until you are confronted with the situation. Especially, when you see "INFANT SEATS" in the back seat, with kids in them.
