Re: Cautionary Note - Heavy Hauling Wreck on I-75
Good on ya, ipkyss. I expect the one I saw flipped & rolled in the original post was 33-35 ft. long. Beautiful day, sunny, no wind, so I expect he just got it swaying, perhaps a lane change downhill at too high a speed, and lost it. Made a nasty mess of the truck. The trailer, on its side, actually didn't look too bad [though I expect the side on the road was ugly ....]. The late model F-150, upside down, had the front of the cab mushed down maybe 10-12". Probably proves that the back ends of the cabs are pretty darn stiff & strong. I sure hope no one was injured; I haven't seen a press report of the accident.
