Looks like an air line broke, brakes applied? That cab smack down must have hurt!

Fire Departments learned a long time ago with their ladder trucks, without a driver, the tail will wag the dog. I am surprised the driver made it that far without the tail end moving either to the left of right and striking something.

If you watch closely, he is entering onto a bridge. You can see the right abutment under the trailer (lines up with the one on the left). Rear wheels hit abutment and tore off.

You would think that with pilot cars that he would be in the middle of the lanes at a turn.

Yea, the trailer was crabbing after the turn. truck was centered, but the bogie was shifted right. Looks like he hit some concrete barricades and broke the chains. Beam had some good weight to flip the tractor over.

I hope that truck driver didn't have his left arm out the window waving at that guy (standing by that white pickup parked in the median) as he drove past him lol.

Yeah, you can see the right rear tires hit that concrete and WHAM! Man that beam wound up some torque and slapped that truck on it's side pretty hard. OUCH! :eek:

Yup, missed the bogie hitting the concrete. OUCH is right!
