With winds as high as they are and blowing snow going across road getting packed into ice,yes,they will slide off road-think of it as a big sail on a pivot.....even worse w/"super single" tires. Just a reminder to the motoring public-with high winds- and you meet an oncoming tractor trailer(especially van trailers)-be alert for the trailer to "swing" into your lane when traveling on snow covered/icy roads.

A car vs. tractor-trailer accident, believed to be without injuries, is reported on Route 63 near Little Canada Road. The roadway is completely blocked. Bethany Fire Department is responding.
UPDATE 8:12 p.m.: A second semi-trailer is now involved. The first one "believe it or not," says the Bethany chief, was "pushed into the ditch by the wind and will need a heavy-duty tow." Stafford Fire Police are rerouting traffic. It is confirmed that there are no injuries.
UPDATE 8:32 p.m.: Bethany requests that southbound truck traffic be held at Cedar Street.

Ok, so it sounds like 2 accidents this morning and 2 accidents this evening in the same exact spot. This is a bad corner and it is made worse with idiot drivers going way to fast for the conditions. I would love to see a frequent police presence to enforce the speed limit here. To many wooden crosses for loved ones lost to not garner some attention.
