FedEx Truck Driver Falls Asleep, Causes Utah Crash

A semi-truck driver fell asleep while driving north on Interstate 15 in Pintura, Utah, causing a crash early Wednesday morning.

The details: The FedEx truck was hauling double trailers when the driver nodded off and sideswiped another semi.

In response, the driver overcorrected, causing both trailers to overturn onto the grassy shoulder, reported FOX 13 News.

Both the driver and his co-driver were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities will drag the trailers back through a roadside fence as part of the cleanup efforts.
