Hope nobody was in the Ford. My Dad backed over the hood of a pickup in a D-9 one time while the guy was still in it. He had backed his truck up to refuel the other dozer he was running as Dad was backing up to take another pass. He had to change his BVD's after that. :-laf

Definitely agree, wouldn't be funny if somebody got hurt



It sure did a number on that Ford though. in his younger years my Dad cut a corner to sharp and ran over a sheriffs personal car with the back tires of a semi trailer. it was empty at the time

Hate it when that happens...



Maybe the driver of the CAT was like,,, "Darn Ricers, If he cuts me off just ONE MORE TIME,, I'll... ..... **CRUNCH**",, oops,, My Bad "

That's a pretty common accident, notice the front right corner of the haul truck is totally blind to the driver because the cab sits on the left side. We squashed a GM 1t service truck that way at the last mine I worked at, now I see Ford's squash easily too. The haul truck would probably bounce off a Cummins Dodge though.

I know that feeling - had a semi cut a corner and roll over the back of the patrol car I was in..... felt like the front wheels were gonna come off the ground. :--)

Ever heard of the saying, "no room to live?"

About a three months ago we had an Airman from the base lose control of an F-350 flatbed truck on one of the local roads at about 80-85 mph. He went into the ditch on the other side of the road. The impact lifted and turned the truck into a tree. The lowest impact on the tree was five feet off the ground on the passenger side door/roof. After it was all said and done with, the pass. seat area was gone. The right front tire was raised off the ground. That corner was supported by the transmission mount. The frame rails on BOTH sides were damaged, along with most everything else on the truck. For those that know these trucks, they have cattle panels for the flatbed part. One of the panels on the driver side went through the back window and caught the drivers head. The last I knew, he was still in a coma. The only good news about this was that there was supposed to be someone with him. If this person would have been there, he would be six foot under now. They (the Transportation Squadron) shipped off the truck before I could sneak in to get some pics.
