How could the container truck fall over, looks like a straight road?

He swerved to avoid the white line in the middle of the road

Obviously swerved to avoid something which tipped the whole rig over with the contained firmly locked to the tray. What was the pick up doing on the hard shoulder anyway? Undertaking?

Maybe suddenly woke up and swerved to get back in his own lane.

Just sayin'.

In Thailand, anything is possible. Thai drivers seem to have a way of defying physics. We had a car sail through the top of a tree opposite our house and it landed facing the opposite direction from where it had come. Quite incredible.

Did you see the movie from Chinese busdriver? Just one blimp on his #7*&$#&& phone and he crashed !

Wouldnt be surprised if a phone was in the game here, look at , you turn away, try to correct it wildly (as you panic then) and there you go.

there are locking devices for containers on arctics....they JUST DONT FALL OFF....

The container didn't fall off, it is still attached to the trailer

The whole lot, trailer and container have tipped over, musta been doing something out of the ordinary there

A similar thing happened recently when a truck carrying a container of grain took a left turn too fast and rolled over on a small car. The car driver walked away unhurt.
