Default Another truck bites the dust

Thanks to a winter storm I am now down one less truck. Didn't even have this one for a year. Aaauuggghhh

At least it was my least Fav pickup. Gas guzzler


Thankfully. No major injury as of yet. And not my fault

Egads, RIP, nice truck.

Glad to hear there are no major injuries. I've seen some nasty ones in my time with far less damage than this. This brings back memories of my own highway head-on collision (not my fault, no fatalities although the EMS on scene who was a witness to the crash told me he couldn't believe I just walked out of my car like that.) It did do a number to my neck though, it was over 10 years ago now and my neck still has issues from that crash. So do get yourself checked over, my guess is you'll likely have some stiffness and soreness in your neck and shoulders, do get it checked out.

Yikes! Glad to hear you're okay. Mind me asking where this happened? I'm jumping on the road at 3pm to go from Lloydminster to Cgy, and I've heard the highways are bad today. I had a few meetings cancelled as people didn't want to drive from Edmonton to Lloydminster due to road conditions so I can only imagine they are "poor".

This happened ten minutes south of Edmonton. My brother was driving my truck and I was in my rig two minutes behind him. When I got on scene he was walking around in shock. More upset about my truck than being hurt. I called 911 and when the ambulance came they put him on spine board. Due to his head bouncing off the steering wheel. I guess the other truck crossed center line. All in all it's just a truck

I don't feel bad for people when there to distracted buy a phone. Bet insurance won't cover that being distracted driver and all

So this storm is province wide. Wow. Just not worth the risk
