    This accident happened in front of me when a Ford F450 lost both left side duals when the studs broke, the driver wasn't seriously injured, shaken up more than anything, if he hadn't of hit the bridge, it would of went across into oncoming lanes which would of been very ugly. (Language warning in the video.)

    And this is why we do pre-trips... Yikes.

    Props for stopping, and I'm glad nobody was hurt.

    Could've been anything/nothing, not saying anything was missed. Either way, this is why we do pre-trips. You don't want to be the guy with the bumper sticker that reads:
    Like I said, just glad nobody was hurt.
     
    tucker and pattyj Thank this.

    Okay... I'm a little confused. :biggrin_2554:

    Pretty sure that's more an, "Oh ####" type thing. It just happens. If that ever happened in a semi, what would you do?
