    Not the same crash but gives a message none the less, the one I referred to was early AM there was ice or frost on the road, truck went through the barrier and over the side.

    I never put chains on before, but I just picked up new wires and chains for the trailer. I guess I'll teach myself if I have to. I watched Youtube videos, but doing it in person is a whole different beast.
