Sand + 70 = Trouble!

Driver plunges off ramp, blaming sand (KTRK-13 News)

A driver claims excess sand on a north Houston ramp made him flip his pickup truck overnight.

The truck almost landed in the bayou after it went over the wall on the ramp between 45 southbound and the North Loop westbound.

It was surely the sand, and not the fact that he was driving too fast for the weather conditions.

Because fine Houston drivers could never make that mistake.

In other local traffic news, a dump truck ran a red light and took out a METRO bus.

The driver did not blame sand.

BLOGVERSATION: Metro Is Full Of Crap.
