This winter in Western North America has led to some sketchy driving conditions, especially for semi trucks. On Tuesday, the Wyoming Highway Patrol posted a recent video of a close call between an officer and a semi-truck.
Snowy and windy conditions led to an out-of-control semi-truck that crashed into a snow bank. The highway patroller, who was inspecting the crash, was walking back to his vehicle when he saw the semi-truck barreling towards him, and he narrowly escaped it. The truck miraculously crashed into the snow bank in between the other sidelined truck and a speed limit sign.
I’m glad to say that the officer was ok and that no injuries or deaths were reported. It’s a great reminder for every driver that when a highway patroller is in the emergency lane, you need to move over and slow down. The video from Wyoming Highway Patrol is below.
