11:53 AM: Thanks to Teri for the video above and MC for the photo below – a car-carrying truck got stuck on steep Charlestown Hill west of California this morning.
As seen toward the end of Teri’s clip, SFD was dispatched to try to help out. We haven’t heard yet how it turned out.
12:59 PM: Commenter Greg reports the hill is clear.
A school bus once got stuck and once the kids got off it was able to make it over!
The hill is cleared now (not sure why the fire department was called). The drivers plan to move the cars off the trailer then back down the hill seemed to have worked.
I genuinely don’t understand where this truck was coming from that it ended up there in the first place.
No doubt following Google directions from Totem Lake to Magnolia.
I’ve seen this happen up in Puget Ridge. Trucks get routed via Google Maps or similar with no consideration for longer rigs and long wheel bases.
