Schneider National Semi-Truck Crashes on I-45
A Schneider National semi-truck caused huge traffic delays on Monday afternoon, June 15, 2009. The tractor-trailer lost control and overturned, blocking all four lanes. Traffic had been backed up and it appears as though the semi-truck driver, Mark Nunnally of Illinois, was unable to stop in time. The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department cited Nunnally for reckless driving and failure to maintain control of his vehicle.
The semi-truck crash resulted in some rather extraordinary photographs and video footage. The semi-truck jackknifed, striking several vehicles. Then the Schneider National semi-truck overturned onto the back of a small pick-up truck, dragging it 200 feet. Fortunately, the driver of the pick-up truck does not appear to have sustained severe injuries. Witnesses say that if the semi-truck had been six inches closer to the cab of the pick-up truck, then the driver of the pick-up would likely have been crushed by the trailer.
