Form the picture it looks like the pole missed the nose and just got the cab. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Can you say, lucky? worst place to get hit and he walked away! Did the truck roll and slide into the pole? or tip over?? whats the rest of the story?Glad he is ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 From what I can gather, the truck sheared off the pole and rolled over...then the pole came down on the passenger side of the cab. The truck is at New Stanton Mack right now, but we may be getting it back here soon.

Terry T Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Might take a new cab Barry! By just looking at the pictures, I would say that the truck was already on it's side or most of the way to being on it's side when it impacted the pole and snapped it off. Looks like the steer axle is moved back on the right side as well, probably got caught on a culvert or something on it's way to the pole. I seen the remains of a Ford Aeromax that was behind an oversize load that was too tall for an overpass, knocked off a piece that then came back and cut the cab open at the base of the "a" pillars and just destroyed the cab, the driver was still seatbelted in, and in his seat, but was sitting left of an invisible line from the outside of the left steer tire, to the outside of the left drive tires. Ron had a very severe arm injury, but other than that some bumps and bruises and no memory of the accident except for the ISP and newspaper pictures, was fine. Oh and not a scratch on the hood, but it did take a cab and sleeper.Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
