That did actually happen on I-68 in Morgantown, WV about 10-15 years ago. He hit the ramp, kept going, went over the top and flew through the air to the bottom, where the truck was completely destroyed and the driver was killed.

Didn't even wake Leroy up! Sorry, I was just trying to prepare my stories for the next time I eat at the Flyin' hook driver's counter.

HAHA i got a good laugh at that one. lol:

Biscuit, you started that all wrong. This is how it should have read, "You guys ain't gonna believe this but."

I've always been skeptical of how they design the ramps that have the stepped bump style design.

Personally I don't see how any responsible driver could loose control on a downgrade short of some sort of mechanical failure, or lack of a jake possibly.

Must have happened at the very top.
