    Don't end your day like this

    We got stuck in a big back up this morning on I - 275 in St Pete. We don't know all the details but this trailer had everyone on edge. We watched it all unfold on live streaming.... Click here

    It would be interesting to hear the story behind that one.

    This is one account that I was able to fine. . . . . .

    ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Despite the scary images, there were no injuries in a late morning crash involving a camper dangling over an overpass. A 2016 Ford Explorer was pulling a trailer while traveling north on I-275 in the outside lane north of the I-175 exit ramp when a 2010 Hyundai Elantra driven by Courtney Tierney, 20, of Waretown, N.J., drifted into the outside lane and collided with the left side of the trailer, the Florida Highway Patrol said. The Hyundai then rotated counter-clockwise, colliding with the trailer on the rear right side, which caused the trailer to fishtail and roll up onto the top of a concrete barrier wall, FHP said.
    Tierney was cited for careless driving. The three people in the Explorer were not injured. Northbound I-275 traffic was diverted at I-175, with traffic moving on the right shoulder. The road below the overpass, 5th Avenue South, was closed as crews removed the vehicle. A wrecker arrived around noon to lift the camper off the overpass and away from the scene.

    Thanks for that. It just blows me away that no matter how safe you drive there is always someone out there that can take you out and you have absolutely no control.

    A tow vehicle more suited to the load may still have prevented the fish-tailing.

    It was amazing to watch them remove the trailer live. A crane was used to loop a strap around the trailer and the gently raised it as the tow vehiccle moved forward slowly. Once it cleared the wall it was gently placed down and pulled away. We heard the story late last night as to what happened and it left us wondering if the cell phone was checked for use during the accident. Those people were lucky, that whole situation could have ended much worse.

    I saw a sign on a city bus in San Francisco this afternoon that read you are 6 times more likely to get into an accident while texting than you are driving drunk.
    I think a 4 1/2 ton tow vehicle would have helped though.
