Oh Dear

A large articulated truck crashed and rolled over on Sunday on interstate 35 in Waco Texas.

A four axle Grove truck crane came to the rescue while setting up the crane toppled over onto a fire truck.

A second crane was then called out to rescue the first crane and the truck.

The truck driver suffered minor injuries while the crane driver was airlifted to the local hospital.
The mess caused 20 mile traffic jams on what was the end of a holiday weekend.

While not at all clear, it looked as though the lack of outrigger spread on one side of the crane might be to blame.
