A flatbed semi, hauling lumber, faild to negotiate
the exit ramp on 41 in northern Dodge county today.
The semi tipped, scattering lumber over the off ramp,
closing it for about an hour, while members of the Dodge
county sheriff dept, Wisconsin State Patrol and Theresa
Fire dept. cleaned it up. The driver was treated for
a minor head injury.

Good perspectives, but it is a pity that most of the people you shot are back-turned.

Dang! So this thing happens in the States. too? Only last night was there an accident of the kind near Hanover - I only heard about that one and saw some footage on the midday news, also wood planks all across the "Autobahn". I think the overall damage was worse, though, since all in all three trucks were involved in that accident...
Did you write the article, too?
And I like the third one best with the fire fighter (?) looking into the car.
When you do press photography, do you have to see to it that the persons cannot be identified?

only victims. Fire Fighters and Police are fare game in that atmosphere. It just so happens all the pics I posted, they are turned away.

Thanks for the comments.
