Not So Lucky

Cruising across North Dakota, I came upon a road closure. Turns out, this was the reason. We were routed around it, via the rest area, where I stopped to take some pictures.
Here's a close up of the truck.
I honestly don't know how this happens. The guy was facing the wrong direction, but I didn't see where he came from. The roads were dry, and in North Dakota, it's not like there is any kind of traffic to have to worry about. Did the guy fall asleep? Did someone come upon him and cause him to crash? There was another vehicle there, but it didn't look like he could have caused the accident.

It didn't appear as if anyone was hurt and there were no emergency vehicles on the scene. I saw the truck driver walking near his truck, so he was unharmed, which is great. I just always want to know more about the situation when I see it happening in the middle of nowhere.

The one thing I do know, is that I always thank my lucky stars that it wasn't me!
