    Anyone else think speed might have been a factor???

  2. Enforcer says:

    Maybe Texting and driving

  3. Speed was not the factor,it was the road that was wet and slippery.
    I was the person who was in front of the overturned truck. Just happy that nobody got injured.
    Stp

      You seemed to have navigated fine. Thank goodness for your extra sticky tires.

    • Kangoocar says:

      I am sorry, but I don’t care how wet the roads are, if someone is sticking to the speed limit, 35 kph, their vehichles is not going to flip over or even skid more that a a couple feet!!! Just look at the tires on that vehichle, they can handle soaking wet Highway conditions were the speed limit is 70 MPH, give me a break???

    • Micro says:

      Vehicles don’t magically just slide… obviously did something wrong.

    • Zevon says:

      Some people thing that when roads are wet and slippery, a competent driver might reduce speed to ensure they don’t skid, hit something, and turn over. It’s a concept not often applied in Bermuda, however.

    • MAKE MY DAY says:

      Do you “think” the truck just turned-itself over???

  4. Triangle Drifter says:

    Heavy truck HA! That is nothing but a 1/4 ton pickup truck that carries little more than an inflated ego.

    Does the bed of that thing look like it has actually ever carried anything?
    Plenty like it around.

    • Former Union Member says:

      Totally agree with Triangle Drifter. HA license, what a joke.

    • Hey says:

      I agree Triangle Drifter. Many inflated egos in those trucks, and most of them have an E and a W on the doors, not in that particular order!

    Speed is always a factor !

    If the conditions warrant it, slow down to a crawl.

  6. Green Man says:

    There’s no way they flipped a heavy truck like this doing the speed limit, please slow down!

  7. Res says:

    That’s a brand new truck !
