Yikes! 75mph winds tip over semi on Mackinac Bridge, saved by guardrail

Truck nearly falls off Mackinac Bridge

 

I wonder in a situation like this if the driver gets charged with an accident or a preventable on his record?

 

Of all the places to want to lay down and take a nap.

 

His DAC will read. Following Mother Nature too close.

 

Thanks for the laugh

 

I've heard trucks have been blown off that bridge. Looks like the wires did there job. I hate driving that bridge. I would prefer to hire some one while I hide in the sleeper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCGxoVxO86Q&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Looks like all that aerodynamic crap didn't help much either.

 

I "almost" had a high profile load I was pulling one night get away from me, it was on hwy 50 in MD the bay bridge going east across the bay, that bridge takes a turn about 1/4 the way out and when I made that corner what was a headwind had me hanging on for dear life, they shut it down for high winds right after I crossed, change of undies was needed.

 

I wonder in a situation like that if I should care what people thought after I "soiled" myself..

 

Its a chargeable accident. If a wrecker or a emergency vehicle show its chargeable
