Anyone remember Joie Chitwood stunt driving shows? I'm betting he's a former employee.

We have a corner near our office at I-10 and Spur 330 in Baytown where about every month an 18 wheeler takes it too fast and flips. The messed up part is that there is no barrier there and they could straighten up and go into the median instead of wrecking, does not happen very often though.

The driver in the vid made all the right moves, except for not leaving the truck stop when there were high wind warnings.
