Photos of Truck Wrecks and Other Mishaps

This page contains more photographs of truck wrecks I encountered during my trips around the country. My camera recorded the dates of the pictures, but I usually lost track of the locations by the time I got the film developed.


This evidently had been a double trailer load, but there is not much left of the second Jet-Service trailer. 12/30/04	Trailer in the median strip that seems to have lost its cab. 2/14/08

Truck being hauled from median ditch and set upright. An operation like this forces the entire roadway to be closed down. 2/14/08	Notice the skid marks to the left of the trailer indicating the truck had been driving in the opposite direction before wrecking. 3/11/98

With snow pouring down, this truck ended up mired in the snowy median. 12/6/07	Trailer taking a nap on the snow-covered shoulder. 2/14/08

What caused this wreck? Did the truck spin around on this side or did it roll down the bank from the other lanes? 10/25/98	Try to picture this occurring - the truck glides right off the highway, goes behind the guard rail, rolls up the bank, lies over on its side and slides behind the concrete bridge supports. 7/18/06
