On the way into work this afternoon I came upon a very serious crash. From what I could see the TT looked to be between 25' to 28', the tow vehicle was some kind of SUV. I was on 475 east going on to 75 norht they were on the overpass from 75 south to 475 north. The TT was laying on it's side across the off ramp and the TV was at the bottom of the overpass. The roof was caved in form what I could see to the bottom of the windows. The overpass they where on goes over the other two ramps and SB-75 so it is a very long drop.Lets hope and pray everyone survives.LINKDon

I always try to take it easy on that ramp when I return home from the south. I have heard of another incident years ago in the same location that had been due to wind.Like you. we hope everyone survives.

Thanks to my rv.net tutorials I've concluded the driver exceeded his gvwr but not his axle rating, didn't drive a dually and didn't have a WD setup. Oh and was probably driving a ecoboost

A truck pulling a camper lost control, hit the guard rail and then went over a hill and landed on its side.Two people were in the truck. One was taken by air ambulance to Mercy St. Vincent's Medical center and is in critical condition.The other person was also taken to the hospital, but there is no word on that person's condition.

P D ... I think yer missing the point, although a tragic mishap, I have to agree. Speed what done it, which in my mind is as redonkulous as some of the "interweb know-it-alls" advice/lectures spewed here.

I past the scene just as life flight was landing. For people that don't know the road it can easily catch you by surprise. I don't believe there are any speed restrictions posted but it tightens quickly and the pavement isn't the smoothest . Prayers to them.
