Thought you might be interested in what actually happened. My husband was injurred in this accident. The tanker truck locked up his breaks, crossed into oncoming traffic and hit my husband’s truck. The concrete pump he was towing was destroyed and the truck will probably have to be totaled out as well. The tanker was also totaled in the accident. By the grace of God alone, other than my husband’s ‘minor injuries’, no one else was treated for injuries. The truck driver was sighted for reckless driving and failure to maintain control of his vehicle.
