Semi Truck Accident on icy roads at I-25 Wyoming

[WyoDutch]

I was driving that section of road about 15 years ago.. heading up to Sheridan. Mid-march, sunny and warm, but windy and blowing snow. Stretches of dry road interrupted by patches of deep slush. Locals with pickups and horse-trailers as well as tourists with SUV's were passing me, as I was driving to suit conditions. By the time I passed Chugwater, I counted 6 wrecks.. including one fatality. Worst drivers I see here in Wyoming are the Coloradans,.. absolutely the worst drivers anywhere.

That's about 1/2 way between Cheyenne and Wheatland just north of the town of Chugwater. Winds out there have been clocked at 80mph with gusts even higher. Double T Trucking handles most of the Truck "Blow Overs". They get a minimum of 3 per week, more in the winter. In 2 places the Hi-Way Dept. has installed Aviation Wind Socks to alert truckers to to wind speed and direction.

The winds are crazy out there too

I'd hate to say it but there's already a trucking show on T.V.

(Ice Road Truckers) Good stuff though
