[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1311061, member: 12508"] Back on topic here. It sounds like this driver had a medical event or fell asleep. But once the truck went out of control, you'd think even a sleeping driver would awaken and slam on the brakes. This leads me to believe he was out cold. A set of doubles usually rolls over in a situation like this one. It sounds like the intact rig crossed over the median (no Jersey barrier) and slammed right into the bus. The tractor involved was a 2007 Volvo, which isn't particularly new for CA operations. There have been emissions fires in both Volvos and Freightliners FedEx operates, but since there was no pre-impact fire, that seems to have been ruled-out. [/QUOTE]
