C-DubsThings you've seen fall out/off vehicles and results
Didn’t see it fall off, but as I was riding home from work on my motorcycle, on I-94 Eastbound, going about 75 mph in middle lane, I came up over a small rise and encountered a ~16’ ladder covering about two-thirds of my lane, and part of the right lane.
Caused a bit of a butt pucker, but luckily, there wasn’t anyone directly in the way in the left lane, and I was able to avoid it.
The contractor’s van was about 100yds further down the road on the right shoulder, and one of the guys was jogging back.

Bob RII was behind a landscapers truck with trailer...couple of walk behinds and gear etc. on the trailer - he hits a bump at 35-40MPH and a loose mower blade falls off the trailer, bounces end over end and just misses my windshield. Close call but no damage.
I saw a bed liner fly out of FS pickup on the highway. I also saw a boat come off a trailer...and finally, I saw a large commercial heating boiler section slide out of the back of a truck when the driver took off from a red light. It was a hot day and it gouged the pavement quite badly.

Balzé HalzéThis just happened on I-80 at the Summit of Parley's Canyon which is just off my exit.
I-80 in Parley's Canyon at standstill after boat falls off trailer -
https://www.fox13now.com/traff...at-falls-off-trailerA traffic accident on I-80 westbound in Parley's Canyon delayed travelers Monday looking to make it home after the Labor Day holiday.
The standstill began after a boat fell off its trailer near the summit around 4:30 p.m. The accident blocked three lanes of traffic at mile marker 138.
Traffic was seen backed up for a long stretch, with some drivers attempting to illegally cross the median to head in the other direction.

Pretty nice boat...or was:

casI just remembered riding in the back of mom's car as a kid and seeing a tire pass us. Then another and another, then about five more. Never saw where they came from.
Also just remembered the huge, long backup on I95 driving up to Boston, Sherwin Williams paint truck roll up door opened or was left open spilling dozens of can of paint onto the highway.
