Default Got Info on the Covenant Rollover/Jackknife I-80 Iowa?
Anyone know if the driver/drivers made it out of that one. The wreck was just off the westbound north side of the freeway east of Iowa city( I believe)....anyway, it looked real bad...most of the truck was completely gone jacked all the way under the rig....and it rolled. Actually looked like the
Rolling part was the only thing that prevented the entire cab being crushed completely under the trailer.

I don't know about that one, but westbound I90 near Drummond Mt. (a Swift (I think) looked like he lost his van and then went plowing with his tractor. If the driver(s) was not buckled in I do not believe they survived.
The tractor was so hammered that the tow truck needed a pilot vehicle to get it dragged out of there.
