18-wheeler jackknifed all by himself eastbound about the 203 mm. Traffic was backed up 3-4 miles when I went by westbound around 12:30 p.m.

Although there are no other vehicles involved, another driver must have cut him/her off. Again.

Turnpike from Cleveland area to PA line is slushy but care should be taken.

Hard to know what happens. I was behind an 18-wheeler on I-75 near Bowling Green, OH and he just wandered off the road and up the embankment for an overpass. Twisted his rig part-way over, but not entirely on its side. There was no explosion indicating a blown tire or anything. I suspect he just let his mind wander or maybe was fooling with something and lost control. Checked to make sure he was physically OK and reminded him to get his log ready because the State Police were on the scene right away. He wasn't cut off or anything. It was in that never ending construction zone.
