  1. Surely that wind speed should have stopped at least truck traffic? In UK they stop highsided vehicles in 40 mph crosswinds. Good people struggled to help in winds that took down that lorry!❤❤❤

  2. Empty trailers are like sails on a ship when it's this windy. Hug a trucker this stuff ain't easy.

  3. Did anyone noticed the strength of the wind?
    Them folks be struggling to walk.
    I wonder if that's the cause of the crash

  4. I look forward to the possibility of welcoming anyone intrested in a gold stock worth $700k.

  5. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

  6. So proud of the others that helped God bless you 🙂

  7. 😳😬 holy cow the wind!!! People about to get whisked away!!!

  8. That was one hell of a high wind blowing across that highway!

  9. I pray they are alright and safe.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

  10. Omgosh that's terrible!! Look how strong that wind is!!! I'm in Texas… that's crazy!!!

  11. It was nice to see people stopping to help the guy! ❤

  12. Must have been gale force winds judging by the struggles of those going to his assistance. Hope there were no serious injuries.

  13. Ah well, obviously a rookie driver, hope everyone was, okay!

  14. Kiddos great citizens 👍🏽

  15. God Bless Truckers 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ✨️ ♥️ 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ✨️ ♥️ 🙌 🙏 ❤️

  16. Who else watched the video looking for the Dodge owned by the driver, the "drivers Dodge"

  17. Was it that windy. Look like a tornado

  18. Wow so windy, the people that ran to help were really having to struggle into the wind.

  19. I handled long distant cargo claims. Truckers earn every penny. The truck is usually their own they have very few insurance choices; 95% of the trucks I handled were insured by Lloyds of London. Driving in the winter is dangerous, and many of them don’t have worker’s compensation! Many accidents are caused by drivers who try to pass without adequate clearance. They just don’t earn enough!

  20. He shoulda let Jesus take the wheel🤷🏼‍♂️

  21. Man, it's windy there! Hope everyone's okay.

  22. Those semis in cross winds are like boat sails and the wind can just push them over

  23. Wonder what cause driver lose control

  24. There are certain times of the year that the Santa Ana winds just stay that way. Most truckers usually try to drive by driving around the state lines of CA. To get to wherever they need to go to. There are areas that are not as dangerous to drive through. But this guy never should of been on them in the first place. To light in weight sideways winds 65 mph. He was a disaster waiting to happen. Thank God no one was hurt. Its a nightmare situation for First Responders. People get mad about cops shutting down roads to have to keep the scene safe for Responders. But I had a friend who was a medic. And literally got bolwn over a bridge railing helping move a gurney to an ambulance. She spent 2 months in the hospital and another year in rehab. Do whenever you are told not to be on the roads. No matter what the reason is. STAY OFF THE ROADS.

  25. Check the weather before you drive high profile rigs.

  26. Yooo that wind is obnoxious

  27. Hope everyone in that Semi is alright

  28. Don’t these guys go to school to be licensed?? Why tf are you driving that when people are walking sideways😂😂😂 guess common sense and safety aren’t as valuable as profits 🤡 🌎

  29. Look how hard that damn wind blowing and everybody wants to be a truck driver
