LOL.... my Aunt sent me these pictures and I just had to share! The story goes that the driver had only been in the USA a couple of months. This is near Billings, Montana. The driver missed his turn and decided to make a new road for himself. He didn't realize that there were rails at the top of the hill (wouldn't have mattered anyway, he still would have beached the trailer.) You can see where the trailer pinched the drives and practically pulled the fifth wheel assembly out. According to the owner of the truck, the driver must have been going at least 55 mph to climb the steep grade in the ice covered grass.
There are some great drivers out there, people who take the road seriously and can be considered professional. LOL But then you have to realize, there are those who haven't a clue like this guy!!! Makes you feel better knowing that just anyone can get a license to drive a 40 ton vehicle down the road!
