DALLAS (KRLD) - A couple of truck drivers from Texas now have quite the story to tell...once they get out of the hospital. In an Oregon hospital, Kent Osgood of White Settlement and his passenger Manual Rodriguez from San Antonio are recovering.
It's after their truck hauling 30,000 pounds of frozen blood and plasma crashed over an embankment off of Highway 58 near Oakridge. Lt. Bill Fugate with Oregon State Police says, "The truck is still in the ditch. The refrigeration unit on the trailer is still operating properly and at this point they are trying to salvage all that blood off the truck. The blood and plasma was being transported for medical use. The driver will get a ticket.
