okay guys PLEASE when towing anything use safety chains on it and ensure it is properly secured to your truck
here is what i met on the way home driving 60 mph in the dark

I am told I went end for end 5 to 7 times after going up the tounge of the trailer off the wheel well and hitting the back ramps at 60 mph


then i was lucky enough to be hit by two other vehicles doing around 55 mph

I don`t remember that part thankfully

I remember firemen and paramedics ripping out my windsheild and cutting off the a pillar before loading me onto an air ambulance to go to the hospital

needless to say my truck is toast

so everyone please ensure what ever you tow does not come free from your truck

there are alot of things people do towing and hauling that annoy me.

rich

glad your alright but a lot of people who tow dont know what they are doing, which makes it harder on us guys who do do it right

Mr. Big Ram

So, that was out in the roadway by itself!?

busta

yeah it came off the truck that was towing it spun around in to the passing lane then into my lane
from what i was told
all i seen was something that looked black right in front of me with no time to do anything

Mr. Big Ram

Man, that sucks big time, glad you're OK, hopefully he has decent insurance.

Totallyrad

Hopefully the person who was formerly towing the trailer had proper and adequate insurance. How are you doing since the accident?

Sidewinder

WOW! I hope you are OK.

Did the owner of the trailer stop and help??

busta

I have no clue on the person towing the trailer other then he got charged with something
I am missing part of the skin on my head.
Have around 60 staples in my head, screwed up neck and sore hand but other then that doing fine
no broken bones that they could find so I consider myself lucky other then i need a new truck now

busta

one thing i must add is that I am very greatful for the fireman,paramedics and state troopers that were there to look after me
as well as the piliots of the helicopter and the nurses and doctors at the hospital

Spooler

You need to buy a lottery ticket.... Good Lord!!!!!!!!! Is that the picture of where you ended up?

busta

no that is where they towed it too i believe i was on the shoulder of the road but all that bouncing i lost me glasses and could not see anything as they carried me to the helicopter

Mr. Big Ram

Where did this occur?
