I am seeing way to many big truck wrecks. WTF?

I am seeing so many big trucks in wrecks latley. WTF man? Just this week alone I saw 3 or 4 on the way to Miami and back. It's not even snowing for crying out loud. South of Macon, I saw the Lowes Jimmy Johnson transporter (Or it was the souvinier transporter, not sure) with a smashed up hood T boner into a pick-up. There were some others I did not gets pics of.

Then there was this one in Ga just a mile or two south of Chattanooga. Not sure who is fully at fault for all of these big truck wrecks, but there sure is to damn many lately.

I would say from the picture, if he is the only one involved, it was probably driver error driving to fast for conditions..

There was another one in Florida I came by. There was a state trooper squad car totaly demolished, sitting in the hammer lane on I-75 north of Wildwood. Supposedly a big truck took him out with his trailer durring a lane change. It was in a total downpour, but still. Geezuz

I came across what looked like it must have been a wild ride, just shortly after it happened last week. On I-15 southbound, south of Nephi, UT, (up on top of the pass), a Knight truck must have been hauling an empty trailer and got caught in a wind gust. From the tire marks on the road you can see that the trailer hopped about 6-8 times and then flopped on its side - taking the tractor with it of course.

I didn't see an ambulance although all the other emergency services had a full turn out, so I assume the driver was okay. However, he may have been at the hospital getting the seat cushion extracted.
