Truck packed with lumber makes ‘wrong’ turn
Truck loaded with lumber leaning awkwardly.
Tue, August 31, 2010 - 12:00 AM
A TRUCK DRIVER had a scare on Friday after the load of lumber he was hauling almost caused the truck to tip over.
The driver, who declined to give his name, was making a turn in the vicinity of the traffic lights at Bank Hall, St Michael, around 1:30 p.m. when the weight of the lumber shifted.
He said the lumber caused the trailer to lift off the truck. The situation was brought under control only when the driver of a passing truck assisted him by driving his vehicle up and pushing the lumber back, thereby reshifting the weight.
The incident forced traffic to be diverted under the watch of officers of the Royal Barbados Police Force. (CA)

Are we going to wait until someone is killed to do somethings about this dangerous practice on our roads? I am afraid to drive pass some of those trucks.
