The driver was uninjured according to the CHP Traffic Incident Information Page. According to Thom McMahon, who reports he was second on the scene, there were two occupants of the big rig–neither had more than minor injuries.
Please remember that information gathered from initial reports is subject to revision as more facts become available.

Turbin on to tight?
That was a racist remark.
AND misspelled.
Turban.
I may be a racist, but at least I can drive. Don’t care if it’s spelled correctly or not [edit]
Chas, it’s time to question your life choices.
Mobius doesn’t seem to know what real racism is. I have a feeling if somebody had asked if the drivers underwear was too tight Chas would have been called a racist just because the driver is not white. A turban is not a symbol of race, it’s a hat that is worn for many reasons. Gotta hand it to Chas for owning it though.
LMFAO!!!!
“Turbin on to tight?”
Seriously worthy of a smile or two.
Mustafa Bin goin’ 31 MPH
Not funny.
Actually is funny.I smiled.
That sadly isn’t saying a lot!!!
The cars that been learning this trick all over Humboldt County not to be outdone
Rollover
Fortunately, Mobius, you nor anyone else is the arbiter of what can be funny to anyone other than themselves.
If you think it’s not funny, don’t laugh.
Other than sitting off by yourself with a scowl on your face, your arms crossed and your lower lip sticking out, that’s about all you get to do.
Nice sign placement.
“Nice sign placement”
Good eye.
Good high Eyeball Kid Tippecanoe and Tyler too
🕯🌳They single themselves out as who they are.
Who, the Sikhs?
“The fundamental beliefs of Sikhism, …divine unity and equality of all humankind, engaging in selfless service, striving for justice for the benefit and prosperity of all and honest conduct and livelihood while living a householder’s life.”
towel on head, must be a terrrist.
Rather prejudiced to say that as no one said that but you.
BTW WTF is up with all the Big Rig rollovers lately??? Are they issuing Class 1s in every box/bag/WTF ever of Craker Jack snack mix again, as the Toy Surprise???!!!
Nah, a lot of driver’s getting behind the Redwood Curtain for the first time. Nice new trucks that their drivers haven’t driven on curves before. And of course, smoking the local weed has no impact on driving ability!
*Cracker…
CAN’T STOP STUPID-NO MATTER WHAT RACE
“Hey, hold my tea. Watch this!”
That is not a “behind the redwood curtain” accident.
That is an idiot that doesn’t know how to drive.
Whoever gave him a license should be fired.
Agreed 250%!!!
wow really judgy and racist wtf commentz but sometimez i think ppl just say crappy stuff cuz they have nothing better to do and they need someone talk to anyone negative or positive it doesn’t matter
if u smile just a little and hold it for a while it will trick your brain to think u r happy and hopefully brighten your day
have a beautiful blessed day everyone
peace
ps. all misspelled wordz r intentional
Calling someone a racist is not the way to peace.
Nor is making racist jokes, about someone you don’t know!!!
Making a joke about turbans may be tasteless but it’s not racist. But I suppose it’s close enough for virtue signalling.
Agreed, well said!!!!
Where’s Jamie?
Yeah, looks like a sikh, with the beard and turban, but not a whisper about how it happened. Without the turban, he might be an old hippie, or a hillbilly, or a hobo, or biker, out of work Santa, or… Really – is your mind that small? I’m beginning to believe that it probably is.
All my friends know the low rider
Funny!
Just glad the driver is fine, and the truck did not roll over on another corner where it could have killed someone. A lesson learned by the driver for sure. A dangerous stretch of highway through there. Be careful people, and please slow down.
I can imagine what was going through the driver’s head when they heard the twisting noise of the cab frame while the slow motion movement of the cab sideway forced the driver out of the driver’s seat and onto the passenger side. Driver was probably standing on their feet on the passengee side window looking up at the driver side window and sky when the truck finally came to a rest.
“i…fucked…….up”
An understatement if I never read one!!!
Kym- I watched the video on Sikh’s turbans in the copy of tweet list you have at the end of your page. Could you give me a direct link to it ?
I don’t know which it was but it would be in this list here. Just scroll til you find it. https://publish.twitter.com/?query=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FKymKemp%2Flists%2Femerald-triangle-tweets&user_id=105660657&widget=Timeline
