I saw the aftermath of this accident while driving out of the mountains near Pine Mountain Club, California. There were gouges in the pavement where the truck (It might have been a Chevy Avalanche)and trailer (Sierra) rolled across the highway. For those of you who are familiar with highway 166 west of Maricopa, this would have been at the bottom of Grocery Grade heading on the downhill towards Maricopa. My wife's statement: "OMG, I bet they had did not have sway control bars." As we drove by, I could not tell either way.

I didn't see any mention of this on the news over the weekend! I believe the speed limit for semi trucks is 30-40mph on the downhill grade, so yes he legally could have passed the truck as our towing speed limit 55mph when towing in California.
