ROUND ROCK (November 03, 2009)-Round Rock Police were investigating a fatal single-vehicle rollover collision along the southbound Interstate frontage road Tuesday morning.
Police say an 18-wheeler loaded with lumber rolled onto its side scattering cargo and debris along the median and frontage road.
Southbound Interstate 35 lanes remained open; the collision is blocking the Westinghouse Road exit at mile marker 257.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene; no other occupants were in the truck.
Interstate traffic congestion was a result of on-looking passers-by, police said.
The cause of the collision was not yet determined Tuesday morning.
Police expected to have the debris cleared and exit opened by Noon Tuesday.
The driver's name was not immediately available.

OK Then: "Redneck, blue collar truckers"? You say it like there's something wrong with that or that blue collar workers are somehow defective or deficient. So you're what.....? At least as rude as Curtis, but somewhat more predjudiced? I would guess you are a total failure in life and simply rely on attacking others in order to make yourself feel like you aren't a failure. Of course, you will now go on to tell us all what a fabulous success you are, no doubt in the field of law, or maybe medicine. America was built by "blue collar workers", and I am not a bit ashamed to be one. To the family of the unfortunate (sneer)"blue collar worker" I can only say I am very sorry he did not live to go home to his family yesterday evening. I, too, have a family and pray I get home to them each eveny. My heartfelt sympathies are directed towards you.

Just FYI, he didnt do anything wrong, it turns out he wasnt feeling well day before, very weak, and either had a heart attack or passed out re a unknown health issue. Just shows you shouldnt say anything rude unless you know facts. I am his family, and thank you who do care about this wonderful man! My prayers go to the rest of the family.
