Oh, wow, Jack! That must have been one heck of a wild ride! lol And you were up high where you could see it all real well! Well, once you got to the bottom of the valley, the truck probably slowed down pretty fast, it's so flat down there, unless the driver got the truck off the road before then. Seems like they had some places on the side built for the trucks to intentionally drive into a pile of sand or something, if their brakes failed.

Try riding with a trucker whose breaks are going out, down the grapevine into Bakersfield. It was the closest I have ever come to dying in a vehicle. I never again accepted a ride in a semi.
