I Was at the Scene When a Truck Carrying a Wind Turbine Blade Crashed — Here’s What I Saw

I happened to be the first car in the long line of traffic at the scene of yesterday’s accident on Highway 103. Like many others, I turned around after waiting for a while, but the highway remained closed for several hours.

As I explain in the video, it was a bit confusing from my perspective as to what oncoming traffic was supposed to do to avoid a situation like this. The driver needed both lanes of the highway, but many motorists didn’t even realize the truck was in the middle of the road until they were halfway up the hill.

I explain more about what happened in the video below. Most importantly, I’m glad no one was hurt!
