I have to wonder if a Totoya sedan is heavy enough to be pulling a trailer, even a small one.
Unfortunately they do it all of the time anymore!
Another real nasty accident. By looking at the front of the big rig, my guess is the trailer was in his lane and he hit it almost head on. The Toyota might have been going a little fast and his trailer drifted over the line. If the Toyota had been in the trucks lane I am afraid there probably would have been a death for sure. I am very glad the Toyota driver only had minor injures and the truck driver is fine. People please slow down and enjoy the ride!
Two major problems here, that’s sedan isn’t a vehicle that should be pulling a trailer that size. And the semi truck probably was driving like a formula 1 race car around those bends grabbing for the next gear trying to go as fast as possible… Speed equals extra money, to a truck driver who gets paid by the loads done in a day…
Muddy Black Dodge, yep, blame it on the truck driver. I still put my money on the Toyota and trailer being partly in his lane. You sure take a nice picture. Thanks for posting.
? Incredible increase in log truck activity + incredible increase of RV/ home transition = more rv/logtruck wrecks. Probably the same people pushing up the price of lumber selling their homes in the city to travel to build in the country being hit by the increased traffic of log trucks!
