In February 2014, Eckerberg was driving a pick - up truck and attached trailer
on 65
Highway near Sedalia, Mo., when a driver for
Interstate Studio & Publishing Co. drove through a stop
sign at an intersection and crashed into Eckerberg's trailer, causing the truck and trailer to spin and flip upside - down in a ditch.
Driving
on an
interstate highway can actually be easier and somewhat safer than
on main roads since not much obstacles to stop you are available like traffic lights, stop
signs and pedestrian lanes.
