Hi Romulus... :)

Wow...some accident...

What I am wondering is the guard rail to the right of the large culvert is damaged and that looks to be where the truck went off the road.
Now the position of the truck facing the broken guard rail would mean that the truck would have had to turn 180 degrees in the air to be in that location.
That driver must have had one hell of a view... ;D

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Am I the only one who is concerned by how a truck managed to crash through the barrier on the wrong side of the road, bridge a gap, spin 180 degree and not fall off the edge?  :o

The best luck will compensate for the worst skill, but the best skill will not compensate for the worst luck.  ;)

All I can say is. If it had been me. I not only would need a change of undies and pants. I'd have been blinded by the shit storm inside the cab as it cartwheeled and came down 12 inches from the edge of oblivion.... :o

I'll bet he's going to get some sort of award from his insurance company.
