Based on what I have seen and read I'm not sure what charges. If there was something mechanically wrong with that truck, he was intoxicated or something of that nature it's possible.

Yeah, I don't know how it happened that he was the only one on the freeway.
Maybe he thought he had the nerve to flatten a few of them and chickened out; who knows?

Article says he bypassed barriers, is in custody, and they’re criminally investigating it. Maybe they get him with reckless driving

United States law, reckless driving is a major moving traffic violation that generally consists in driving a vehicle with willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.

Watching local news, company that owned the truck (independent driver) has released a statement saying they're sorry and stuff, no further comment at this time.
