A trucker’s snarky Facebook posts, including photos he admitted to snapping from behind the wheel, helped the driver he hit three years ago coax a $1 million settlement from the trucker’s company and insurance carrier.
The wreck occurred just after midnight on May 5, 2011, on Interstate 285 in Fulton County.

The sedan flipped over several times before coming to rest on the shoulder.
