Truck spill on I-630

One of our graphic designers, Dan Limke, grabbed this video of a pretty gnarly semi-truck crash on 630 on his way in from work this morn.

Where was that? And what time? There's not enough background for me to figure out the location.

I'm with 70%er; can't tell where the wreck is. 18-wheelers and other big trucks are rarely seen on I-630. I thought there were rules or regs that keep them off of it. If it ain't agin the law, it oughta be.

TCBY Tower, (Now Regions I think) is in the background so I guess it is down at east end by I-30. Maybe truck exited too fast from I-30 westbound around curve by Boman Law School.

This is all a guess.

I am just glad I wasn't passing through when them big ol train wheels started their unauthorized rolling.

At the beginning of the video you see the big green sign with upcoming exits:

Main St.
Center St.
Broadway

The back side of MacArthur Park (near the pond) is in the background beyond the wreck. The view is West bound, just past the curve at the Law School.

Tain't important, but what was once the 40-story TCBY building is now Metropolitan National Bank. 30-story Regions is one block north.

Yes, it was 630 at the big curve, as you exit I-30, by the law school.

Regarding my video: Sorry about the dog nose prints on my windshield and the David Bowie on my stereo.

Never apologize for Bowie on the stereo! (or dogs on the car for that matter) *g*

Dan always does excellent work!

I saw the sign, but the resolution on my monitor isn't enough to make out Main, Center & Broadway. That must've happened shortly after I passed through this AM.

I was there when it happened, it was coming off the 30-630 interchange west bound by the law school. One of the railroad wheels ( I guess that is what those things are) flew across all the lanes of traffic and landed past the ramp coming from 15th st. it was pretty scary, luckily no one was killed.

Dog nose prints... Ahhhh. I wondered.

Posted by: Kelly | July 10, 2008 01:34 PM

whats wrong with this picture. why cant the railroad ship its OWN wheels to the repair shop in pine bluff?
