Dangerous winds take down a transport truck in southern Alberta-video

There is a second one tipped over now, southbound north of Claresholm.

 

The best line in Quigley Down Under: "No sense gettin all windy when a slight breeze will do"

 

Typical. Ignore warnings and now First responders got to fetch stupid from truck

 

As we say in southern Alberta, "It'll be a nice day if the wind don't blow."

 

If you take 36 up to the Trans-Canada, would that keep you away from the worst winds since you're farther from the mountains? I've taken 23 up through Vulcan and over to High River to avoid wind but it's closer to the mountains.

 

That’s way out. But less wind yes.hwy 23 between noble ford and hwy 3 can still be tricky.

 

Think I woulda took that last right hand turn with all the two wheeling he did in that full video and just stopped headlong into it and waited till it stopped. Guess he thought he wasn't gonna get bucked offa that bull.

 

Going north to pretty much any where.....36 will work. Way better road in my opinion. You can cut across to QE2 a couple different ways.

 

This happened to one of our drivers in January as well. Happened too quick for him to react.
Probably the best thing to do is pull over and park in a 90 degree jack-knife position.
