Wet conditions send semi truck sliding over guardrail 70 feet above the ground
A semi truck slid in wet conditions and went over a guardrail, ending up about 70 feet above the ground, according to the information provided.
The incident highlights how quickly traction can disappear when road surfaces are wet, especially in areas where a guardrail is the last line of defense between the roadway and a steep drop.
For professional drivers, crashes like this are a reminder that wet-weather handling can change fast with speed, weight, braking, and tire grip. Even a routine stretch of road can become high-consequence terrain when there’s limited runoff area and an elevated shoulder.
No additional details were provided about the location, time, injuries, cargo, lane closures, or whether other vehicles were involved.
