Great photos. Agree completely that the photographer captured how serious an accident at a bridge on the interstate can be. There have been some amazing photos which staff should be very proud as they make people think when driving. Thumbs up for good photo journalism.
all that hard work and training now pays off great job and well done to the firefighters
Very lucky to be alive. It scares me just to think about it.
A miracle all three are alive!
Horrible accident. I don’t even like to imagine it. I came in on I-65 last night too. Freaky. Road conditions seemed fine. I sure hope/pray that they they make it through. Compliments to the photographer, as they really capture the gravity of the scene.
