YOU THOUGHT YOUR DAY STARTED BAD

This guy has you beat. (At least I hope you had a better day than this.)

The truck was carrying one role of steel weighing 30K pounds and one roll weighing 14K pounds. He swears he was doing 35 but I'm thinking 55ish.

His passenger was banged up a little, but no visible injury.

I am just glad that the rolls landed on the flat side and didn't roll off of the bridge onto rush hour I-40 below.

Wow! Guess he's off to pee in a cup right now. ;D

I saw something similar in Indiana once. A roll of steel broke loose from a flat bed and hit the ground rolling and actually unwound. It went up an offramp before toppling over. It must have unwound 400', what a mess. Luckily, I didn't see any squished cars.

Bet you got a few tickets out of him. You inspect his rig. I was trained in that years ago, weighing and inspecting, checking his log book and all.

I am not CMV certified, but I called the weightwatchers, three of em came and went over the truck, then they worked over the driver with the cite book.
