Speeding can be hazardous to your health! This cement truck was disabled in the right shoulder at 215/Cheyenne. The car was speeding, lost control and spun out. The rear of the car struck the rear of the cement truck. It’s a miracle that only a few bones were broken. #drivesafenv pic.twitter.com/hawMWpjQSV
