reports coming in about the Mooneyes trailer being involved in an accident near Wendover today. Hopefully no one injured.
Yeah was a real mess, trailer caught the edge of the road and it threw it into a fish tail. No one hurt from what I read.
Merchandise trailer, no vehicles inside, high wind warning was in effect and lighter trailers were not supposed to be on the road according to social media. Jim
It looks like they caught a strong side wind after going through one of the cuts along the road going into Wendover. You go though the cut with the wind going over the top of everthing and then hit an open spot and bam.
Sorry for their troubles, but that is so cool that the trailer has Moon caps on it. And heading to the land that made them famous. If they can get the merch to the salt, I predict they’ll sell out this year.
Yeah they can sell the trailer buy the square inch , you cut pieces yourself . Bring your sawsall and a some extra blades .
Didn't they have a trailer stolen awhile back? I assume this is a replacement for the stolen one? Not having good luck with trailers it seems. Here's to better luck for those fellas! Dave
Not the first to flip a trailer on the road to Wendover from Ely. The final 90 miles has a few hills and narrow spots with a 4-5” drop off the pavement. I remember when it happened to a SCTA trailer. Wind can be handled with a 6000# car better than a load of clothes and parts. That looks like a 30-35 footer with all square edges which makes it worse in the wind too.
