That's a sad story...just a reminder that life is short!!
Searching for the LA tanker rollover, I found 3 other rollovers today, then on my wife's way home from work, she said a tanker rolled over. Just saw video on Facebook. The driver was ejected. It has not been a good day.

I debated posting this for a few hours now, but decided it may help someone else avoid an accident. I am assuming the driver forgot to set his parking brakes, or possibly the brakes failed and somehow the emergency brakes didn't engage? You guys would know better than I would.
driver tried to climb back in and stop the truck and was ran over.
There was also a tanker overturn in Lousiana today, not sure if the driver is ok in that one or not. If so, it is a miracle, as the cab hit a divider at the cab while upside down.
