350ash Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Was that at the roundabout linking the M1 and the A45 near Weedon? I drove past a lorry which looked just like that on Tuesday this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350ash Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I hope it wasn't the same driver that did both then, that would be a pretty crap week at work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruddles Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 If the left axle gives in, wheel blowout or most common cause top heavy load which ISN'T held on cradles or straps then this can happen. Mind you've got to be a fairly unlucky driver too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Wind? Not the sort that Zugara is referring to, but yes it's quite a common occurance for a large truck to basically either be blown over or picked up the wind and thrown down on it's side, especially if the rig is empty, say having dropped of a load of gear. Ruddles is onto it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
