Wreck and behavior afterwards captured by our local TV photographer. Note the SEC shirt on the guy. Very clear video of wreck on Hwy 90 today. Lucky no head on collision. Here is the story, but the video shows it well and the aftermath. I don't think he was texting.

BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - A rollover crash on Highway 90 closed both east- and westbound lanes in Biloxi early Thursday afternoon. The crash happened just after 12 p.m. in front of Beauvoir.

As of 1:30 p.m., the westbound lane had re-opened and traffic was moving, albeit slowly.

According to a witness, the driver was driving erratically as far back as the Coast Coliseum. The truck then crossed a lane and hit a light pole in front of Beauvoir, flipping his vehicle.

WLOX’s John Fitzhugh, who captured the video, went to check on the driver and found him alive and alert, rambling erratically.

It’s unclear if he suffered any injuries because he declined medical assistance at the scene.

All lanes were closed for over an hour.

That was Mr. Bizaro caught right on the wing. The female news reporter btw is Mike Spann's daughter. He was the CIA guy killed in the Afghanistan prison uprising.

Gotta love how the TV station was claiming the video was filmed "by one of our photojournalists".

Want to be a "photojournalist"? Get a dashcam and send the results to a TV or Radio station.

As for the claim for texting not being the cause, that is a classic example of a distracted driver. So I expect that texting was the root cause for this "accident".


I've stopped counting.
