Dodges-2 Minivan/trees/telephone poles-0

Myself and another member 06 DIESEL (travis) were in an accident today on our way to the last pull of the year.

The only injury out of the 3 vehicles was Travis got some glass in his arm, very lucky for what he went through. I'll let the pics speak for themselves but his truck took a beating and i think it came out on top for having taken out some trees and a telephone pole. Thank God he was able to walk away from the accident, someone was watching over him.

I rear-ended a van who had to stop suddenly to avoid a person making a left turn, then Travis ran off the road trying to avoid running into me.

As long as there is no lasting damage to people it's still luck.
But as "Aunt Jolesch" says:
God keep us from things happening that are still luck.....

(Aunt Jolesch is a provrerbial figure over here- sayings like" Anything a man is more beautyful than an ox is luxury" are contributed to her.)

Glad that everybody walked away

Glad everybody's body is intact,that's the big thing. Consider a Carli rockshield when they put your truck back together.

Glad to here everyone is OK. It's not to often you get the chance to see a vehicle prevail over a phone pole. And it's about time .
