Accident I saw today

Are you sure it's not a box truck, the tires in the back look awful small to me anyway.

 

thanks for the pic

 

Thanks for confirming, AirForce Vet.

Here's one I saw this morning and captured in my west coast mirror, on I-88 E/B in Illinois at about the 33 yardstick. Towne Air Freight, I believe. Hope the driver was ok, emergency vehicles & ambulance were on the scene.

 

Excellent observation!

 

From the image posted by KW cajun it would seem the driver yanked it right just to get to the needed ramp! If that is true, then no sympathy for him. Only the load, the customer and the company. Oh, and those inconvenienced by the

Yep, surely he yanked it right. Kinda telltale by the skidmarks coming from off the roadway on left, as you earlier noted. Plus the fact that the left lane banks lower, compared to the right, at the point he made his boo-boo. Kinda like turning a sharp right curve with a reversed bank on the roadway, if that even exists anywhere.

 

Doesn't this topic belong in the truck accidents section? Plus I see this almost every day in the winter time, not even worth taking a picture of. Last winter along I80/90 from Indiana to South Dakota I probably saw 50 trucks and cars flipped over in one day.
