CABELL COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A semi truck crashed on I-64 at about 11:30 Sunday night, blocking the westbound lanes near the Huntington Mall exit in Cabell County.

It appears that the truck crossed the median, went through the cable barriers and ended up in the westbound lanes, where it collided with a car in the eastbound lane.

Neither the driver of the truck or car were badly injured.

Crews are investigating the cause of the accident but say rain may have been a factor.

Truck driver is correct. I've been on trips with my husband (a professional driver) and you wouldn't believe the autos. Just take a trip anywhere with a truck driver and you will see. It may just change the way you drive.

If you think for one second the trucks are at fault find someone you know who drives a truck and go for a ride with them and see who the real idiots are I gaurentee you will see theng in a whole different perspective until then keep your D__n opinions to yourselves

To all you people that blame "Truck Drivers", if you read the story, you will see that it was a "CAR" that caused the accident. The truck driver risked his own life to keep from hitting another vehicle. I don't know what people have against truck drivers. They are always the first to be blamed. But are the first to help out.
