In Maiden, we came upon a fireman diverting traffic through town, I assumed because of an accident, but couldn't see what happened. As we came around the back side of the detour, this is what I saw....
I don't know how a truck runs into itself, but I'm guessing someone didn't know what they were doing when they hooked them together! Just this morning I saw a landscaper towing a (thankfully empty) trailer lose the trailer off the back of his truck. You're supposed to use safety chains on those things but apparently he didn't know that. Thankfully, he was turning and the trailer went off into an empty parking lot.
Now I'm wondering if the universe is trying to tell me something about connectedness....
scary
ReplyDeletenice shot there !
ReplyDeletelol @ I don't know how a truck runs into itself
That's pretty much what it looked like, anyway. Actually, it looks like the coupling between the two trailers gave way...
ReplyDeleteHmmm......that is very weird!
ReplyDeleteHuh! Bizarre. My guess would be someone loaded the truck wrong or something. I like that you're taking a message from it, though. So are you going to endeavor to make sure you're connecting properly, now? :)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking coupling....but I can't think of anything pithy to say about it.
ReplyDeleteI swear, I-40 must always be under construction. I got caught outside of Cherokee once for hours...ugh.
ReplyDeleteThat is really a strange thing --- a truck running into itself. If the load shifted inside, it could happen. Just glad you weren't nearby when it happened. I wonder what the Universe is telling you? Avoid broadening your load? haha.
I would hate to explain that to the insurance company. I was i-40 this summer from Oklahoma to NC. They were resurfacing everywhere.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree. Either that or a huge sink hole suddenly opened under the trailer.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think about it having to do with the load. I guess it could have been too heavy toward the insides of the two trailers?
ReplyDeleteIt seems that I-40 is under perpetual construction. It was closed for what seemed like forever in western NC last year because of rock slides. Now that it is open, they have to work on a different part.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sure the universe is mentioning my broad load....
I thought for a minute that something fell on it. Started looking at the power poles surrounding it and finally decided that somehow it just caved in on itself. I'd love to hear the explanation, though!
ReplyDeleteHmm... didn't think about a sink hole either. Of course, I didn't see one...
ReplyDeleteTrailer trashed
