I figured you would have the scoop on this. I saw the wreckage, it looked pretty bad.
Always a sad day when this happens. It happens way to often!

Not really anything left of the cab...
Be safe folks...
Being totally new to trucking, things like this scare the crap outta me. But I understand it's real and it can happen so you need to be aware. Prayers to the family

Just a heads up guys. There was a bad accident on 77 south mile marker 51 in Virginia. I'm not sure what happened, but an officer responding to my accident (guy hit my trailer) told us the tanker and or cab caught fire and the driver may have been killed. I was in traffic for a few hours. Grim reminder of the dangers of trucking. Off to call my wife. Be safe out there.
