WRECK

Morning wreck shuts down northbound 85 at
NC 62. 18-wheeler goes off bridge onto Kivett
Drive blocking both lanes and catching on fire

Picture from Hickory Creek Road and not very
good as this was as close as they would let me get
(maybe time for some form of blogger press pass
LOL)

Hope driver is OK but from the look of the truck it is very doubtful and ambulance was still there a couple of hours after the wreck

Don't know details but heard truck was hit and
pushed off bridge-----also heard he may have fallen asleep

UPDATE: News 2 said driver of Southbound car fell asleep and crossed median and hit truck head on----truck then rolled off the bridge and onto Kivett Drive----thankfully the 3 people in the car survived as did the truck driver who was rescued from the wreck by 3 bystanders and is in critical condition in the hospital
