Oh my God I hope that he will be ok
If you know which way the wind is blowing and you know there are high gusts reported that day, pass on the side where the wind is coming from. Experienced truck drivers know, to help avoid from a rollover, speeds must be reduced. Especially with an empty trailer. (In a last ditch effort) He/she may have looked to see if there were any vehicles on their right and made a right lane change while slowing down to possibly stop the rollover. Albeit, A very difficult maneuver.
Lucky for the little white car it went past that truck LoL

That's the funniest thing I heard all day. Thanks
Been a really rough week over here in Europe and UK weather wise. Glad it looks like the driver is okay, fell over the road, not the ditch and was more of a "soft" fall.

The road was turning,
I was hit by a wind gust and in a accident just outside Abilene Texas 4 days ago. I kept her from flipping but it was outrageously scary and dangerous. I thank god me and my brother weren’t killed and I thank god I didn’t hit anyone. Thank you to the first responders and y’all drive safe!
It's okay, the Democrats' have got this — they've just made owning or driving trucks illegal.
It's been like this f for a year. I don't know what to try
What made the guy decide to record this in the first place?
That is crazy. It must have been empty.
WOW.😢
wow, another reason u should never drive along side a tractor trailer. either pass them or get behind. hope the drivers okay.
For a second there I thought the guy with the dashcam was gonna take off. 🤣
Empty trailer I bet
I once was pulling an empty trailer on the freeway when a big storm rolled in. By the time I made it to a rest stop I was going 10 miles an hour and my trailer was sliding 3 feet off center from the wind.
Was driver ok
Plot twist, after recording stopped he drove off. Kidding aside though this was always a fear when I was driving a truck. I used to haul from California to Vegas and then sometimes over to lake Havasu and those highways can get super windy at times which is scary when empty. Seen several trucks that blew over on the overpasses for the 58/14.
Between mountains cross winds are also very dangerous you should always be aware of the trucks beside you.
George is fake news !
