On December 10, 2019, Martin was heading through northern Wisconsin with a load bound for Duluth, Minnesota. Near the town of Bloomer, Wisconsin, he noticed a large four-door pickup truck losing traction and sliding from side to side across the southbound lanes. It was the only vehicle on that side of the road. “I think they hit an icy patch coming around the bend and couldn’t recover,” Martin told the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA). All he could do was watch as the driver lost control, hit the median, and skidded off the road.
