Sometimes the shortcut doesn't save time.

Slow train blocking your way? Try some backroads!

Cool pics. I like the first one - "This Truck makes wide turns." on its side. Classic.

My guess is the trailer wheels went off the right side of the road and pulled the whole rig over.

Brilliant deduction! Well either that or Chuck Norris gave it a flying roundhouse to the drivers side

No elk were harmed in the filming of this production.



The right rear trailer tires left the pavement at the midpoint of the curve where there is a small creek passing under the road.
With no shoulder to lean on, the trailer torqued the whole rig over.

The trailer took out our corner fence post.



A short video here shows an amazing amount of flex in the truck's frame during the recovery.
