Hey everyone I've been MIA with work and family stuff. This no rack track stuff is driving me nuts. Well as the title says. We had a medical issue with our part time driver. He just seemed a bit off talking with him 1 hr before, but away he went. He was only suppposed to go to pic up some items and return. Well after trying to get ahold of him by radio. Myself an another employee went on a quick search thinking the truck broke down and he could not contact us. Well after not finding the truck, I got a phone call from the Police that the truck crashed and was 20 miles from where he was supposed to be. Basically he got on the highway never got off, from what the police have said he damaged 3 cars before launching the truck off the side of the road and coming to rest upside down and against the tree. Basically he was confused or blacked out. The good news is everyone walked away. My driver got the worst of it. Cuts/Bruises and a broken Claviccal.

I would like to see the crash data recorder to see what speed it was going.


The truck drivers compartment held up very well all considering. There was some passenger side floor board intrusion. None on driver side. Passenger frame rail bent down close to a 1ft. One bad thing is the driver side head rest was broken off and the back of the cab is pushed up into the drivers and pass seat.
