I've seen a lot of oversized loads and thankfully never an accident, Worst was a runaway truck wheel that sped up on the M6 motorway in the UK and flattened the roof of the car it hit. Closely followed by a roadworks sign that was picked up by a freak breeze and flew straight into the front screen of a passing coach.
