There could be that instance. But I think that everyone who travels a lot saw this coming since Tuesday of last week. I have gone between Tahoe and Sacramento a number of times and that pass is not something that you go at without looking at the weather and road conditions. There are pull offs in Truckee that he could have used with doubles.

I am not a big fan of doubles on winter roads and that is the truck lines’ decision that brings that about.

The driver did an outstanding job of extricating himself from a very bad situation, regardless of what did or didn’t put him in that position to begin with. I guess that’s how I’d view the matter.

I read the comments at the site and it seems this took place near Boomtown (Cabela's). Some stated that the trailer had a problem (they mentioned there were no lights and something else seemed to be broken?) and the CHPs were getting the driver to a wider spot where he could pull off.

Outstanding effort by all!
