Crazy accident in Edmonton yesterday:

Semi drove for over 15km the wrong way on the Yellowhead before barreling off an overpass onto the tracks below.

Sad...

What's a yellowhead?

Sorry, that's what one of the highways running through the city is called.

Wow, insane.

I'm very glad no one but the driver was seriously injured.

Way too real, and terrifying.
