Died in hospital.  Well, that's another one that won't be added to the annual road death toll.

It looks to have been doing a fair lick of speed also as the front axle is now right alongside the rear axle where it has been completely ripped off by hitting the low wall at the side of the road ..

It's just not fair is it?! You wouldn't expect anyone driving a truck to be falling asleep in the daytime as you go about your daily duties. RIP another innocent. Is sleeping now an official excuse for reckless driving causing death.

It appears to have overtaken "brake brain failure" as the preferred excuse

I totally agree but the driver may have been driving all through the night before he fell asleep in daylight. Probably did not stop to "swig" one of those energy drinks like I see so many do - including long distance bus drivers!

Sad that a country can have 'fell asleep' as a viable excuse for killing someone

Who said that it was "viable" or even an "excuse"?  It was stated as the likely reason that the truck went off the road, no more than that!
