Occurred on July 25, 2014 / St. Augustine, Florida, USA

Info from Licensor: "I was driving southbound on I-95 near St. Augustine when the driver of another tractor-trailer hauling approximately 60,000lbs of sand fell asleep at the wheel and merged into me running me off the road and causing him to jackknife and roll his truck in front of mine. The driver of the other truck broke both his legs and had a lot of cuts and bruises but survived. The fire department had to extricate him from his truck. I was transported to the hospital as well and had to have 2 discs replaced in my neck as a result. The other driver was also arrested for driving on a revoked CDL as I understand it."
