where they found an eighteen-wheeler in a field containing gigantic circular skid marks and a driver so badly shaken up he couldn't get out of the cab. But it wasn't a DUI thing -- it was a mechanical malfunction. Fortunately, the driver (who looked to be in his fifties) had managed to steer the truck off the highway without causing what easily could have been massive damage. I got the feeling that a less experienced driver wouldn't have been as successful.
