Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Rough start to the morning.
You know it is going to be a rough day when you are not paying attention to what you are doing and end up blocking a state hwy for at least half a day. Especially one that is busy
Glad it was them and not me.
Any detour was pretty much 20 miles out of the way.
Ha, just the other day I was stopped in Pueblo for an hour as a semi figured out that his load was too tall for the bridge....
Hope your day turns around... pun intended.
What exactly did he do? Looks like maybe he was trying to take an extra wide turn and ended up in the ditch?

Did you get out and offer to help push?
I had to go "off roading" for a similar situation yesterday... Truck tried to make a turn that was WAY to tight. He ended up taking out several concrete posts in the median and my truck got showered with little bits of concrete. I looked back and it looked like he blew out a tire two. Glad I decided to get [mostly] out of the way!

Probably going to cost a shiney new dime to fix. Three axle tractor is buried to axles on one side, first jeep is buried to axles one side and low boy is high centered on crown of road. Gonna take alot of iron and horse power to fix this one.
One large crane and two heavy haul tow trucks and several hours to clear IMO. Probably $5000 + fines.
Approach from west is lower elevation than road he was turning onto as well as the shoulder/ditch where he is stuck. When he swung wide to make turn he high centered the trailer on the crown of the road.Originally Posted by Irving
Once high centered instead of trying to back up and take different approach, red neck driver with 500 HP Cat tried to power over and drag trailer clear. The shoulder/ditch was soft and he buried the tractor making the high centered situation worse.
No, I stopped out of the way took a few pics and razzed the rednecks. Trucking company and escort/pilot company are both experienced over size, heavy haul outfits. They know better and should never have misjudged this one. Very embarrassing one for them.Did you get out and offer to help push?
