I found this on a ol' truck site that I hang out on.

The guy that posted it said that the trailer pushed the truck down the rail for a 1/4 mile before it stopped,.....Bet the guy had sumtin ex-ter in his britches!!!!! LOL

Yeah I think that one has been posted a while back. Very scary situation for sure!!! I can't believe the way the frame has buckled on that thing.

On one of the other pics, one of the front tires got peeled off and landed down in the creek bed. The truck got secured by wrapping straps around the back pillars, and the guy climbed out the back window.

I beleive he was hauling scrap metal. Maybe too much scrap metal.

Don't think so, too many other photos from the other post about 2 months ago.

If he was pushed down that rail for 1/4 mile, I bet friction on the frame caused a little heat, and the weight of the motor and cab, just pulled it down.

Yep - "it" happens...

Bunch of photos a while back - had a heavy trailer in back, probably jackknifed on the bridge approach, when the cab jumped the guardrail the Cummins in front just folded that rusty 1st Gen C-frame over like wet cardboard.

Bet he left teeth marks in the seat cushion!
