A wind deflection assembly includes a curtain that is movably disposed on a semi-trailer. The curtain is comprised of a plurality of hinged sections and the curtain is positionable in a collapsed position or a deployed position. The hinged sections are oriented at an angle with each other thereby facilitating each of the hinged sections to deflect wind at an angle with the sidewall of the semi-trailer. In this way the curtain inhibits the semi-trailer from being blown over due to being exposed to a straight line lateral wind. A deploying mechanism is movably disposed on the semi-trailer. The deploying mechanism is in mechanical communication with the curtain and the curtain is urged in to the deployed position when the deploying mechanism is actuated into a deploying condition. Conversely, the curtain is urged into the collapsed position when the deploying mechanism is actuated into a retracting condition.
