Toovo1985 Clutched August 5, 2011 Share August 5, 2011 I don't know how they felt but that must have been a hell of a scare. No one was injured in an August 25, 2010 accident near the intersection Hwy 549 and Texas Highway 205 as an 18-wheeler driver lost control the rig, which swept across the highway into parked cars. Rockwall police officers were at the site investigating a previous stranded vehicle when the semi slammed into a police cruiser and two other cars. "It was truly a miracle no died or was hurt." according to a Rockwall police officer. Check the video here ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermitage 1st Gear August 8, 2011 Share August 8, 2011 Not bad! At least these folk are still alert! The truck must've jammed brake upon seeing the police cruiser, in those wet, slippery conditions, all you need to lose control like that is your wheels being slightly out of alignment. And this vehicle has 18 of them!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear August 19, 2011 Share August 19, 2011 Not bad! At least these folk are still alert!

And this vehicle has 18 of them!! If you are kidding with us. This is ticklish. In case you are serious. This is likely the wrong reason for that tanker to swing around in that manner. Upon seeing the road narrowed by parked vehicles on both sides, the tanker driver applied brakes to slow down. There was limited road adhersion with an empty tanker. Hence the trailer swing around more easily. Negligence in driving. Nothing yo do with wheels alignment. There can be uneven tire wear involved.
