Default My Wreck

Well some of you may know that I drive a Semi for a living. I also have a set route so go to the same mountain everyday. I was driving east on a mountain road slight grade, going about 35+, oh it was also raining. I was coming up on a curve and at that split second when I'm almost going to start the curve a little convertable (very little you can figure out the make) comes hauling ass around the curve and looses control.

He first hits my landing gear knocking off the "foot" and hit my rear trailer wheels almost heat on. My rear trailer wheels rolled over his vehicle diagonally (from his passenger side headlight, over hood and partially on driver side windshield post)

It felt like a huge speed bump. The impact was so hard that it broke the welds on my rear axle where the leaf springs weld to the frame. their car was a total loss. they seemed hurt and were taken to the hospital.


Had it been less then 1/4 second earlier they would not had hit the landing gear and I would have completely run over there vehicle.


Guys, just remember to slow down a little in the rain/snow.
