I had a CRST truck pass me on I-10 in TX. Then a fuel hauler. Rainy and very windy. The fuel truck was over taking the CRST truck in high cross winds. IMO the fuel truck broke the cross wind and the CRST driver may have been compensating for the wind. It rammed into the fuel trailer with the CRST steer tire. It tore the storage box open and stuff was falling out all over the road. I thought that she had blown a steer tire.
I stopped and messaged my company that I was a witness and was going to help out. The fuel hauler was grateful that I was a witness and had stopped.
The CRST truck came to rest on the inside of the hammer lane. They didn't put on their 4 ways and jus tsat there, and sat there. Finally the fuel hauler and I went to see if they were OK. They were and the truck was still able to move. I told them, "get this thing off on the other side of the road before you cause another accident!"
Their mirror was smashed into the door. The window was shattered and large chunks were torn out of the fender and the steer tire side wall.
I was not there when the Highway patrol got there. I gave my info to a sheriff deputy who just happened along. The CRST driver said she didn't know what happened. AFAIK they were just 2 rookies in the same truck. Both were at a loss on what to do.
Glad nobody was hurt.
