My service truck I wrecked in 1989

Made the news on 2 channels in Lafayette LA. I got 13 stitches and a downpayment for a house. Yes, I was driving the white pickup and wearing my seatbelt.

    Sweet goodness amigo….you were blessed!

    That’s the attitude I was looking for! So in your mind it’s perfectly OK to pull your trailer across 2 lanes of traffic and stop your tractor in the crossover in the median in dense fog and just watch the fun begin?
    After all, the cars WILL stop, Right?
    If not it’s THEIR fault.
    If that’s how you think then you are an idiot.

    You were going too fast for conditions. You should have received nothing

  • supervisor42:

    The driver that pulled the trailer across both lanes of traffic in thick fog and stopped it there was grossly negligent. Their insurance Co wouldn’t even pay me for my electronics that were destroyed so I got mad and shot a roll of pictures of the truck and dropped them and the video on my lawyer’s desk. About a year later they settled.
    Would you drive under a semi for free?
    …me neither.

    Dude how you got a down payment on a house out of this?

  • supervisor42:

    They picked it. The intake on the 351 was decapitated from the block and wedged in the firewall. I did like that engine even though I’m a chevy guy (see my dyno video). I started to keep the seatbelts out of the truck, but settled for the medallion from the grill which resides in the curio cabinet in my livingroom….even today.
    IT IS a conversation piece.

    First off, glad you survived but I wanted to ask if you got to pick which truck you wanted to drive or if they selected it for you? God bless Ford

    The seatbelt shoulder strap didn’t keep me from laying down either. On a side note, the cops measuring the skidmarks in the video, showed that I held the brakes locked until 1/4 of a second before impact; cut it a little close…

    You got lucky here. You must have layed down in the seat? I look at the pictures and just shake my head…..
