Well this story has been dominating the headlines in Edmonton where I live since it happened on Monday.
The driver of a semi truck apperently went into diabetic shock behind the wheel of his rig monday afternoon. He proceeded to drive 15-20 kilometers erratically down the wrong side of one of our cities busiest commuter highways in the early afternoon just before rush hour. Forcing cars into the ditch and causing accidents. He then lost control of the truck, smashed into a center gaurdrail, and then plummeted off an overpass into a railyard below and burst into flames.
A passenger in a vehicle on the other side of the road recorded the shocking crash.
Amazingly no one other than the driver of the truck was seriously injured. Maybe its because it happened where I live but I just found this to be one of the most shockingly real videos I have seen in a long time and thought I would share.
