California Highway Patrol spokesman Trent Cross said Mosqueda was driving at an unsafe speed in a 50 mph zone, moving in the right lane of the two-lane connector ramp between westbound Interstate 80 and southbound Interstate 880, when he struck the right guardrail, causing the truck to overturn....
Cross said Mosqueda had been driving for Sabek Transportation, of South San Francisco, for 10 months.
I hope their insurance is paid up.

He walked for a mile and a half in all...then for at least 13 blocks through the desolate streets of West OaklandFirst he survives a fiery crash. Then he survives a 13 block walk in the middle of the night thru West Oakland!
It's a miracle!!!

Driving a cab in Oakland in the middle of the night. The guy was a hero before he took the tanker driver to the hospital.

Cabbie probably thought it was another moveon.org fare from Berkeley.

The guy had to be in shock or have some sort of concussion. Any thinking person would have stayed at the accident site and waited for the firefighters and ambulances to show up.

When you say the word stoic...he defines by his actions. As tough as nails.
To: Arthalion
Well, apparently, that rules out both this truck driver and Michael Waltrip, since they both went a-walkin’ after their respective accidents recently.

A local tv station was invited into his house for an off camera interview.
His mother did the interview in Spanish which was then translated by the Hispanic news lady.

“2nd degree burns are painfull but the guy wasnt dying.”
Depends on how much of his body was burnt.
To: Moose4
I know a guy who was hit hard in the back of the head by a stump he was pulling out with his Jeep. A neighbor found his bloody truck with the engine running in the street and called 911. Police found him taking a shower like nothing happened. IIRC, he was then in the hospital for several weeks and out of work for months with internal brain damage.

True, and he certainly felt like he was dying. The article only says hand burned, and hair singed.
Hmmmmmm, Mosqueda.
Must be one of those Mexican Møøselimbs...
