WATCH: Big rig tumbles down California cliff

A semi-truck traveling along state route 175 northwest of Sacramento lost control and tumbled down a steep embankment.

Road crews are building a retaining wall in the area.

Caltrans said the driver ignored posted signs and drove through the curve anyway.

The accident happened on Thursday.

Remarkably the driver walked away from the crash unhurt.
