I got stopped on the east side of 108 one day heading east, right at the far end of those serious twisties. 4-5 cars and in front were two Hawgs. They’d been there over an hour and told me they’d already asked the CHP if they could pass. Apparently a very stupid semi truck driver pulling a 40’ trailer thought he could cross the Sierras on hiway 108 and Jack knifed across the entire roadway. We waited another half hour or so and finally got to follow the very large and expensive tow truck with the semi and the accompanying CHP who I assume (and hope) was going to write very expensive ticket. You guys lucked out.
We were lucky indeed. We rode two miles past the stuck lowboy trailer & semi and stopped for lunch. No cars came by the entire time we were doing our lunch stop. I'm betting they were stuck there the entire time while they were figuring out how to 'unstuck' the lowboy trailer that was bottomed out.
Thankfully have not had this happen to us on the Sierra Passes.
But there are plenty of stories of truckers attempting to drive up and over the Sierra Passes. Pretty sure the success rate is zero.
