...There was this old Buick, a big late 60’s road yacht, crammed into the back of the trailer. The man and wife inside were hurt although not terribly so. But behind them was the little Datsun pickup truck (remember those?) that had hit the Buick hard enough to shove it into my trailer. The two girls inside were badly injured. The driver’s forehead had been essentially peeled back and the flap of skin was hanging down over her face. I eased it back into place and held it there to slow her bleeding until an ambulance arrived. The other girl’s legs were bleeding freely, the dashboard having been pushed down on them just above her knees. Both were unconscious...

Did you consider pinging Blam:)
Well at least he admits that he caused the accident in story #5...
I don’t blam. :-)
Well, I did. Hard to deny it when you just back all over someone poor woman who’s sitting there minding her own business. Besides, she was a great-looking gal.
I do.
Hm... that was supposed to say “I don’t *know* Blam. What the heck, it’s late and I’m old.
Purty good stories.
Stay safe.
Ping.
BLAM!
I really liked that story about the guy at the toll booth.
A few weeks ago my son was driving his BIL’s truck to pull a flatbed trailer. He was hit while sitting at a stoplight. The other driver was going 35 MPH and never even touched his brakes. OUCH.
One of the burning questions these days is “Were they on the cell phone when the accident happened?”
Texting while driving is sort of an epidemic. From where I sit up in the truck cab I see it all the time (among other things).
The guy was a complete jerk. Calling me names, etc. I’ve found that making nice with people like him just drives them insane.
Thanks :-)
Tonight, while driving home from Detroit, I saw a young woman with a cigarette in her left hand, and a talking into a cell-phone with her right hand.
At 75 miles an hour.
Good article! Thanks! Driving cautously, and courtesly is almot a thing of the past!
I backed over a vampire once, but I swear I looked in my rear-view mirror...
Ah. A multitasker.
