    When the tires regain traction, the truck will go in whatever direction it is pointing. That's partially why he suddenly veered off into the wall.

    Drivers need to be vigilant, but honestly, where is the maintenance? Throw some sand on those bridges… You won't have the accidents. Before everyone starts blaming the drivers, remember this appears to be a highway that appears to be fine, and then out of the blue there is a bridge that has no salt or sand on it. Even going slightly below the speed limit doesn't help in this situation. Maintenance is a big deal, if this weren't in Texas (or the south) it likely would have been treated by maintenance teams overnight.

    Looks like the swift driver hit the brakes instead of letting off the gas and coasting through the ice.

    This will more likely happen with an empty trailer I'm willing to bet his was or at the least very light. Those super singles don't make it any easier either.
