Ok so wild night. I drive from Ranger to Hamilton to get to Zades first basketball game. 8 miles out and theres a problem on 281. A major wreck with 18 wheeler and a SUV. Find out later that several were care flighted. One lane traffic..about 10 minute delay. There is a Dooley truck pulling a full horse trailer directly in front of me. So we are going slow after they let us go. Just passed the wreckage of the SUV and it was bad. Im praying that all are ok. I look up ahead and I see something unbelievable. An oil tanker is coming down the road towards me and it flips over and is sliding on its side and taking up 3 lanes. Im watching in slow motion as it slides and Im going to the ditch. The Dooley finally goes to the ditch too and the truck stops about 150 yards in front of us. I pull up and get out to check on the driver. Thankfully he answered me but he was trapped. The oil was gushing out into the ditch out of a two foot hole. It was crazy. Even now it seems unreal. The guy is ok but no idea why he flipped over. Thank you Lord for keeping me safe and please be with all of those that were in these wrecks today. #blessed
