Newfoundland has a highway that goes up the west coast thru a place called Wreckhouse, just north of Port Aux-Basque, they routinely stop traffic with a light set up just for the wind… it was called Wreckhouse in old times because homes would just blow away in the windy season so people didn't bother until modern rebar concrete and even still there's stretches that are uninhabitable lol.
This happens quite often during high wind…the trucks that flipped over are either empty or have light freight…
I have nearly 5.8 Million Accident Free miles since 1980. And it still gets me how Today's Pajama Pants and Flip Flop wearing Wheel Holders can Flip or wreck a truck so easily.
This why us old school drivers used to run side by side thru the wind to make it thru , that keeps us upright to block the up draft and we can pass thru without being blown over. Old truck used by only experienced truckers..
In europe we never have this problem our trucks are buildt heavy💪
1:43 you can see the white box truck (I know, great description) in the right lane (next to another white box truck) leaning to the right in the direction of the wind
Everybody fired still I bet
High winds are no joke for high profile vehicles ! Such as semi truck/trailers, motor homes, campers, little rental trucks.
Turn into the wind and hold until wind dies down.
I saw this happen in Utah about 20 years ago. Semis on their side every few thousand feet from the wind on I15
The trucks involved: erm a little helps
"A once in a lifetime wind event" – They are called plough winds and are very common on the prairies.
When all of the trucks decide to take a nap😂 but fr I bet that is scary to flip
Duh high winds it happens in northern Texas
Nothing rolled over. I saw some trucks blow over though. Over being laid over on their side.
That's why I switched to flatbed.
Whoa unbelievable 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼🏴🇬🇧
Now im not embarrassed when the wind knocks my skinny ass over
I swear any video I watch either a past story, or something bad killing or bad moments in time it just always seems to be in April more often than other months I don't know why
Trucker: My Semi has been flipped by heavy winds
Dispatcher: I’m sorry to hear that but are you going to be able to be back on the road by tomorrow and the shipment dropped off?
As a trucker..
Stay away from us..
tipping cows and there were 3 cows u mofo
🙏
Thats crazy. I was watching the small pond of water to the left of the screen, and I couldn't believe the size of splashes coming off the surface. I don't think they're branches, and they're too small to be whitecaps whipped up from the winds, so I'm wondering if they're some the baseball sized hail he mentioned being whipped into the water…
high winds
He says 9 title says 6 I count 3
The heavier the loaded trailer the better! The empty trailers should’ve been stopped long before there!
This is just a normal thing in Wyoming.
Hey they just decided to take a power nap on the side of the road, after all they work so hard!
…
Correct me if I am wrong.
If the wind is blowing left to right. Then you should park on left shoulder. There is a small gradient for water to roll off from road on both sides of the road. So these trucks as long as they were on the road were ok. But as soon as they stopped on the right shoulder which has a small slope, the wind was able to push them over easily… If the wind was powerful enough, it would've pushed them down on the road itself. the fact that they were pushed after they were in shoulder shows that the slope aided the wind in toppling them down..
Out near us the city of Fontana gets high winds that get funneled by the two mountain ranges and creates strong winds during Santa Anna wind events. Semi’s on this stretch of the 15 will get blown over. Even driving a pick up truck during these times is challenging.
Even when they’re on the side of the road and stationary, semis bring track to a halt.
The way the truck just randomly tips over like it's a fainting goat lol
Do you lose your job and cdl becsuse of this?
This almost happened to me tonight in Rogers, AR. It lasted for about 5min then the rain and wind just stopped.
Driver error…
Powerful wind gusts can cause accidents on highways….I pray
For all motorists to be careful during weather conditions….Amen
