Humm...no traffic on the Westbound side of I-10 in Louisiana. This was taken from a nearby overpass to where I live when I heard about a truck accident on I-10. We seem to have so many of them. See that puff of smoke way down the road on the right? That's where a trucker fell asleep and drove off into the woods. His rig caught fire and that was the end of him. A truck stop is just a little ways further down the road where he could have caught a nap. Don't drive tired!
Nowadays the shortage of sleep isn't the only danger on the road. In my country many accidents happen because of the use of smart phones (cell phones) while driving, while it's strictly forbidden.
Thanks for this post Pat as it's a warning for all of us!
