The early Sunday calm along the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel was shattered at 6:40 a.m., when an ordinary drive turned into a fatal mystery.

🚛 A Veteran Behind the Wheel
Ronnie Andrews, a 61-year-old trucker with decades of experience, was hauling a tractor-trailer for Perdue Farms. The weather was clear. The road was quiet. There were no signs of trouble.

Then, without warning, the rig veered sharply.

💥 A Sudden, Unexplained Plunge
The truck smashed through the guardrails and plunged into the frigid waters below, disappearing almost instantly. Emergency crews rushed to the scene, but the outcome was devastating. Ronnie never made it out.

🌊 Questions Beneath the Surface
Authorities say there were no immediate signs of mechanical failure, harsh weather, or traffic interference. Now, investigators are piecing together every detail, searching for answers to a haunting question: What caused a seasoned professional to lose control on a clear, calm morning?

🕯️ A Life Lost on a Quiet Road
For Ronnie’s loved ones, the loss is immeasurable. For fellow truckers, it’s a sobering reminder that even the most experienced hands are vulnerable in a single, irreversible moment.

As the bridge-tunnel reopens and traffic flows once more, one thing remains unchanged — a family waits for answers, and a quiet stretch of road now carries the weight of a life lost far too suddenly.
