Truckers warned about theft ring at Illinois rest stops
________________________________
The Illinois Department of Transportation has issued a warning about a theft ring targeting truckers at two rest stop locations.

The warning from the Illinois DOT reads:

We are working with Illinois State Police to combat a theft ring that has impacted the westbound Three Rivers Rest Area on I-80 near Minooka for an extended period. It is now impacting the eastbound rest area as well.

The theft consists of opening cab doors while truckers are sleeping and stealing their wallets. At the eastbound rest area, thieves are breaking into the cargo areas.

We urge truck operators to use extra caution, lock all doors and secure their loads.

We strive to keep the rest areas as safe as possible and appreciate your assistance in the matter.

Steering wheel saves box truck driver from a deadly steel beam
__________________________________
A Michigan box truck driver is lucky to be alive after a crash sent a steel beam crashing through his windshield last week.

The incident happened on February 6 as 49 year old Johnnie Lowe was driving a box truck on I-96 in Williamston, Michigan.

As Lowe was traveling in the westbound lanes of the interstate, he says that he watched as a steel beam fell off of a flatbed truck ahead of him, bounce off the roadway, and crash through his windshield.

Lowe told the Detroit News, “I thought it was just going to hit the front of the truck. But it climbed up the grille, rolled up the hood and shot through the windshield.”

Lowe kept one hand on the steering wheel, using the other to protect his body, as he braked and guided the box truck to the shoulder.

Lowe said that the dashboard and steering wheel had stopped the steel beam just inches from his body. He suffered only minor injuries and did not need medical attention.
