This happened last nite, nearby. Single-vehlcle - rollover and hit a tree.

Raining, but - driver was intoxicated.

Another plea to not drink & drive. PLease be careful out there folks.

Thanx fer the reminder MGD!

 

That don't look good at all!!!!!!!

 

Given the look of the tops of the doors it looks like the Cab held up well in the front of the vehicle. Clearly the tree met the passenger rear of the truck and if anyone was over there they are seriously hurt.

Overall for what its worth the truck held up well. Driver and front passenger would have survived. Hard to tell since they cut the roof off how bad the back seat was impacted by the roll and impact with the tree.

 

I drank some Dr Pepper while driving this morning. I made it to work unscathed, as did my truck.

Better that tree than an other driver!

 

jesus that makes me sick... the best reason to not drink and drive is seeing pics like that

 

Look like they jawed the top of the truck off. see how the door frame is bent badly.. imagine what the cab looked like. Ive seen the jaws come out at the race track on a corvette. The guy came out in 2 pieces

 

Unreal. Just reminds that you better do the right thing.

 

MGD, did you take that picture?

 

The couple F150's that I've pulled people out of or seen in wrecks have always held up really well. Still, not even a sherman tank can withstand some wrecks.

Again, don't drink and drive, and seat belts save lives. People think I'm kidding, but to this day, I've never unbuckled a dead man.

 

Yah that's a pretty good reminder its just not worth it.

 

Probably had a little dent in the bed... till Fire got to it with the "JAWS". Those guys go nuts sometimes. If the car was hit in the R side, instead of opening the door on the L to get the driver out, they'll start cutting on the R side and cut all the way around to the L side and have nothing but a pile of pieces left when they're done. They used to get people out of wrecks without looking like it had been hit by an IED, BUT that was too simple, and not near enough fun, so along came the "JAWS" and the call of the Professional Firefighters Union became... Let the DE-construction begin! What do Ya mean this car was just parked with no one near it, there must be a person in here SOMEWHERE! We'll keep looking.
