No wonder there are supply chain issues. Drivers don’t know how to drive those trucks on the windy highway.

3 overturned tractor trailers is newsworthy, especially causing a major traffic issue. Link to this?

When was this? There have been a rash of wrecks on 80 the last couple weeks. Not so much wind but snow/ice.

Brockway exit? That exit is a ways from Brockway. And yes, I know the sign says DuBois/Brockway.

If it wasn’t for the two big cities this state would be one of the poorest in the country.

And shutting it down certainly didn’t help with the finances.

I was on the road driving from Dubois to Ohio for client visits. The tractor trailers were off the road and left abandoned on I-80. They were removing the one near the brockway exit yesterday afternoon. Heavy wrecker pulling it from the hillside. The other two on their sides were left as they were. In the center grass area between the highway and the other on it’s side in the ditch. Those two were about 5-miles apart.

It may be because of the snow but I’ve never seen more than one overturned truck left like that.

It’s been poor up there for a while. The housing and buildings look worse and worse. I like the country side but most of PA is very poor in the rural areas.

You don't get good fries at home unless you have a deep fryer, frozen or not.

My home fries are 100 times better than any potato in a package stuck into hot oil. They require minimum effort and are cheap.

They'll leave them if the weather's been bad and there's a fair amount of snow on the ground. Mostly for safety of retrieval reasons.

That stretch of 80 between Clearfield and Brookville can get......interesting..... when it snows.

what is not being said is that these 'wrecks' are non-recovered incidents from the previous snowstorm, days before the 'observation'


The entire story was for the most part, made up.
