We had snow here about 7 years ago and our tanker driver put his brand new i day old Scania and tanker upside down into a small river!

I was helping a neighbor 14-15 years ago now, delivering fuel. I met a snow plow on a curve, couldn't see, and didn't dare pull back over behind him because I knew there were cars behind him. Ended up slipping into the ditch, then the top heavy tanker rolled right up on its' side. Fortunately I was empty. Local garage brought all their trucks, and rolled and pulled it out. I think it was a $1000 "extraction". Also fortunately there was no damage, no spill. Drove the truck away!

What's the rest of the story? Like- was it his own truck, did he have a job after that, how did he get out, etc?

No use crying over spilled milk, as the saying goes.

I remember watching a half loaded milk truck stop at an icy 4 way stop intersection He stopped and a moment later the sloshing milk pushed the locked wheel truck another foot forward, a couple seconds later, the rebound pushed it another 6 inches forward.

Maybe 30 years ago a milk truck tipped over on a real sharp curve near here. There are a couple of houses right there, close to the road. He missed them both, but filled the one guys basement up with milk.

The state has since tried to flatten out the curve some, but its still pretty bad.

Is that red diesel fuel, if so he may be in more trouble!

Looks like all that bragging a couple days ago
about how you Yanks were such great drivers in the snow is coming home to roost.

Took the words right out of my mouth. That's what it looks like to me.

Now if that were an oil truck the company would raise the prices at least $0.10 per gallon.
