Hi. Craig here. Been driving trucks since 1979 and about to hit the 3 million miles mark...1 at fault accident about a year ago (dang it!) I was on my way to work yesterday. Friday the 13th. Yeah. Slow lane Interstate 70 in Clark County Ohio, westbound. A semi driver came over from the center lane right on top of me doing about 75 mph. Had no choice but to hit the guardrail or get right under him. I was in a 2004 beige Lincoln. Hit the guardrail at 65 mph..snapped both right side wheels off under the guardrail and proceeded to spin down the slow lane 200 feet with no control. Thank God I didn't hit anyone and nobody hit me. Totaled the car. 11:15 a.m. 2 truck drivers stopped. I was not injured at all somehow but in shock. Didn't get names or numbers. Was ticketed for failure to control...but my only other option was to be crushed by the trailer. If anyone witnessed this accident please contact me here. Thanks everyone. Be safe.
