Possibly funny since no one was hurt...

(Toledo News Now) – Police say a semi truck traveling southbound on U.S. 23 in Springfield Township has crashed through a guardrail and fallen onto Hill Avenue between Holland-Sylvania and McCord roads.

According to police, the driver was choking on a peanut, which caused him to veer across lanes and off the bridge into the creek below.

You have seen the commercial - "some people shouldn't walk and text"? I guess some people shouldn't eat peanuts and drive!

I tab fire a company that had an absolute no-eating-no-drinking behind the wheel policy. It wasn't enforced, but if you ever got in a wreck because your water/coffee/soda went down the wrong pipe, they had a circular from safety they could pull out, and you'd be shown to be violating policy, and it would be on you.

I wonder if he actually had a problem with the food or did he fall asleep. At a former company I was advised that I am better off saying I dropped my sandwich on the floor and tried picking it up than to admit falling asleep behind the wheel.

As long as no one got hurt he will be the company joke for a while however keep in mind its storries like this that the anti truck crowd thrive on. Like that putz reporter at the Allentown Morning Call newspaper. Cant rember his name a true antitruck commie liberal.
