    Been funnier if there was a cow trailer in there if you get my gist...

    That was probably a micro-burst scenario (straight-line winds) from a nearby storm, and came out of nowhere basically to have laid over all those trucks simultaneously. Hard to predict when/where such an event might occur

    This guy might have been going a bit fast approaching such a high/wide canyon as this one in Idaho ...

    I've noticed deer sleeping along the highway, sometimes with red Kool-aid coming out of their mouth after they left the party. i think the pic is doctored.
