Collateral Damage

I had a chance today to survey the damage to my truck.
We had a bad blizzard last night in which I got caught up in on the busy #1Hwy.
Traffic was at a standstill for a twenty-five vehicle pileup in which there was one fatality.
As we were almost stopped I just noticed a semi barrelling down on me from the rear, your worst nightmare!!!!
He was able to just swerve past me but his trailer got the back of the truck......
The driver weaved his way through traffic and sped off.....boy was I pissed when I saw this as I really did not feel a thing.
Roads were closed down just after I got on them and this guy must have pushed his way past........


other sizes: small medium original auto

Karma is a bitch... He'll get his. Probably did not even know he clipped you as being amped up on 5 hour energy has a way of giving you tunnel vision! LOL

Sincerely- glad your okay, I remember the picture/story of when Larkin was hit by that delivery truck- Scary shit.

I'd be pissed too! Glad you weren't hurt though.

Ouch! What a pain to get it fixed and all that hassle, but at least there was no bodily damage!

Definitely could have been worse, both the damage and to you. Sucks that he left but count your blessings.

Things could have been much worse for sure. Glad this is your only scar. - But one question comes to mind Mike (though blinding snow and the 'paying attention to all that is going on') - how did a guy with a camera miss getting a shot of his plate?

Glad your OK, could have been so much worse!

Wow! - Still much better than getting hit full force from the back. When did you get your V1? How do you like it so far?
