Thanks for sharing. Took a similar spill in Southern Indiana but luckily without the 18 wheeler present. That was enough to scare me off the road for a few weeks, but I definitely have kept my road hubris in check since then. Glad everything's okay.

If you switch to satellite view and zoom in, you can see how the curve tightens up. Use "street view" for a real view of the curve from anywhere.
