168, go ahead. Yeah, we're not going to need a unit 10-2 rescue and battalion as well. We're definitely going to need, we have the highway shut down right now. Again, the box truck is across both lanes of traffic. We're just the service lane, having a little bit of access available. Alright, 10-4, PD's already been notified. We don't have any PA on them, and they'll get to that tow when they get there. 63, received.

Was the driver “boxed” ?

He was freed, so he learned to think outside the box.

"and". 👈

Hhmm. Maybe if people would learn to drive slower abd not try to overcorrect when involved in an accident then maybe they would not flip over. It's basic Physics. You grip the steering wheel at the 11:00 and 1:00 o'clock position and press down on the Brakes. Don't swing the Steering Wheel left or right. Understand? 👈
