Truck Accident Leaves Indiana Toll Road Looking Like a Pollock Painting

The Indiana Toll Road was the site of a very odd truck wreck at the start of August, according to WNDU-TV. The Indiana truck accident involved a tractor-trailer truck rollover, which resulted in 23,000 pounds of white paint spilling onto the highway. Reportedly, the truck crash happened around 8:30 am. The 18 wheeler left the roadway, and when the trucker tried to steer the vehicle back onto the highway, it led to a rollover crash. At the time of writing this, law enforcement has yet to determine what led the truck leaving the road. The truck was the only vehicle involved in the wreck. The trucker was taken to the hospital for treatment following the incident.

When the next summer Olympics rolls around in 2020, indoor rock climbing will be included as one of the many events to grace the world stage. The sport has been growing in popularity for some time now, with rock climbing gyms popping up nationwide. With the sport now stepping more into the mainstream as an Olympic event, even more people will be inspired to try it out. Therefore, the question must be asked: are rock climbing gyms dangerous?

Just as the Ice Bucket Challenge helped propel ALS awareness and fundraising to new heights, the 22 Pushup Challenge has recently caught fire. The challenge is a fundraising and awareness campaign designed to combat the high number of suicides among veterans of the armed forces. According to a report regarding the campaign in Inc., on average, 22 veterans commit suicide each day. Often, these suicides are, at least, in part a result of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) soldiers have suffered during combat. Therefore, the 22 Pushup Challenge helps TBI survivors.

Recovering from a concussion can be a long, difficult process. The amount of rest you should get after a brain injury often depends on the severity of the trauma. This makes sense: the harder you are hit, the worse the injury and the longer it will take you to get back on your feet. Generally, the prescription for a speedy recovery after a traumatic brain injury (TBI), even a mild one like a concussion, is plenty of sleep and activities that are not challenging either physically or mentally. However, researchers in Wisconsin have recently discovered that anxiety could affect your TBI recovery by increasing healing times.

Due to the competitiveness of the trucking industry, truck drivers are frequently driving to the point of exhaustion. Late last month, a semi carrying two occupants flipped over on its side on Interstate 65 near Lebanon.

Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt, but Fox 59 says, "Alcohol is not thought to be a factor, but police say fatigue may have contributed to the crash."

This news story is unfortunately a common occurrence in the trucking industry, but the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has strict rules in place to prevent truckers from overworking themselves. These rules are known as the hours of service regulations (HOS).
