March is typically a month that brings blowing winds to most of the country, but what happened to this truck driver is mind blowing.
His 18 wheeler is literally blown over by the wind on the Hansen Bridge near Twin Falls, Idaho.
After seeing this video, John Anderson, President of Gem State Paper and Supply Company located in the area said that after a similar incident in 2004 with one of his trucks, he asked the DOT to put in a warning system to prevent this from happening.
Their response was to put in a windsock. But as Anderson pointed out, a windsock will blow straight out at 40-60 mph, so that wouldn’t be much help.
Several other semis and trailers blew over on the day of this video, on various bridges throughout the area.
Luckily, reports say that no one was injured in this accident, including the driver. Maybe they should have closed the bridges that day!
