Wow, What a Morning

We were paged out @ 1 am or so for a medical call. We eneded up getting cancelled on the way there so I was back home and in bed after 1:30 ish. A short time later ~3am~ we were paged out again to a one vehicle rollover on the interstate. Here is the article from the news website:

WACO - Traffic on Interstate 35 is back to normal following a fatal accident in which a Dodge SUV climbed a bridge pillar for the new Highway 6 overpass.
Around 3 a.m., the Durango was headed southbound when it went up the pillar, rolled over and landed on its roof, killing its driver. Officers from the Texas Department of Public Safety indicated that there was no evidence of breaking.
The body had to be cut from the wreckage.
The victim is a 24-year-old Austin Man, whose name has been withheld pending notification of his family.
