I wish I could have worked everyone earlier butI was driving in heavy rain and high winds. By the time we got to where the wreck was at (going east bound 58), they had the other side all blocked off so they could right this reactor on its side. I don't know if he had a trailer or not but didn't see one. Traffic west bound was at a stop and when we could get moving again I saw so many coming west bound at high rates of speed and no CHP to warn people of upcoming dangers.

We had seen a turned over trailer(refer), on its side on CA 223 very high winds. I couldn't do over 35 without going into the next lane. SPEED is not your friend. And the only reason we got off I 5 south was there had been a neon sign saying road was closed 30 miles ahead.

So if anyone is in that mess there please use caution.

You know I hate trying to text in a moving truck.

Yep. Voice to text might help. I was bouncing all over today on the way back from my road test.

Was a wreck on the wb lanes of I80 this morning near Lovelock NV. One truck in the center laying on it's side and one one left with the side of it's trailer ripped open.

Be careful out there!
