The driver was uninjured, but the guardrail is going to be need fixing!

Over 600 feet of guardrail was badly damaged on I-84 East of Arlington, Oregon, when a semi-truck veered out of control.

The Kenworth truck, driven by 49-year-old Jose Candelario Uribe, was westbound just after 3 a.m. when it veered off the road, and struck the guardrail spanning a short bridge. The truck continued sliding down the guardrail for nearly 700 feet before finally coming to a stop. The side fuel tanks were punctured, spilling fuel on the shoulder.

Fortunately, Uribe was not injured in the crash, but was cited for failing to drive in his lane.
