Info from Licensor: "Two of my daughters, one of their boyfriends, and I were headed back to Cheyenne, WY from my oldest daughter’s baby shower in Colorado. We hit a road closure on I-25 and had to hit a cut across to get on Highway 85! While on Highway 85, we got in a long line behind a semitrailer. We were riding on the shoulder to avoid any oncoming trucks from blowing over on us. While on shoulder, we noticed the trucks trailer was being blown sideways on to the shoulder, so I told my daughters to start filming. Once we got behind the driver, my girls wanted to stay there and see. They had never seen one tip before. We stayed and I prepared to help if he tipped! I was maintaining a safe distance and we were going slow enough I knew we would be ok. It was about that time it finally happened. I was sure it was going over, but due to luck, skill, or whatever it was, he pulled out of it! We gave him game scoring honks and thumbs up when we were passing to say good job! And then we continued back to Cheyenne, WY! 65mph winds. I-25 closed!"
