A traffic jam was caused when an oversized semi became stuck on a hill top near where I live. The company making these towers (MARMEN) is situated not far from here (Trois-Rivière, Québec) so these semi trucks pass through here all the time. They usually use frameless trailers (The Towers themselves act as a sort of frame) and they are supported by a Schnabel trailer in the front and steerable wheeled dollies in the back. (See one at 1:19) However, on this particular day, someone decided to use lowboy trailers for some of the smaller mast pieces. These trailers have a lower ground clearance (At least that was my observation) and so got stuck on top of the little hill here. A Heavy duty tow truck was called in to winch the stranded convoy and get it unstuck.

La compagnie MARMEN fabrique des tours d'éoliennes non loin d'ici. Elles sont transportées vers un chantiers (Parc Éolien) au nord des États-Unis (Selon mes sources). Aujourd'hui, un embouteillage a été formé lorsque l'un des camions est resté coincé en haut de la petite montée à la sortie du village.
