Well, after all, I only spent my childhood there, and a couple years since. I guess as a kid, things seem more dramatic, and you only remember the dramatic things, whether they are frequent or seldom. Whether there were many log truck accidents or not, they sure were talked about when they did happen.

One thing is for sure, my mom was very scared of the trucks, in the winter time, coming down the road, swaying from side to side. She never felt like she had enough road on her side-- each encounter was traumatic to her.

My Mom remembered and was always frightened by passing log trucks.  She either saw or heard about a load giving way and crushing a car/people when she was small.  We would hear that story every time we met a loaded log truck.
