I saw 2 trucks rolled today (didn't witness them, but saw the aftermath). Both happened in a turn on the bottom of a hill. The weather is absolutely perfect (about 72f and partly cloudy skies) so that's not an issue. It's from drivers simply going too fast.

The 1st one is/was at the 21 milepost on I77 in West Virginia. If you know that road, you know where that spot is. Bottom of the long downgrade (5+ miles) with the long sweeping left hand turn (heading south) and the big valley below it (just before the rest area without bathrooms). The second is/was on I77 & I81 at the 75 milepost in Wytheville, VA.

Yep pretty much! Yesterdays accident was on the first curve headed westbound. But almost all of the accidents that have occured have been in the stretch from the on-ramp to the next off ramp.

I just hate to see it! Makes me sad and it happens all to often.

this is the third one in a couple months

I remember one that sheered a portion of the railing. That is sure a bad spot. I have not actually seen any occur but only drive by in the aftermath.

The lake is nice and the view is awesome from that spot.

You are correct. Speed is the most common factor for roll overs. It could be sunny aand the roads could be dry and drivers still roll them over on the S curves on I79 outside Pittsburgh.

Show one last tuesday, flat bed with a real nice Pete(it was nice) rolled at the last curve going south.
