My son laid this truck over last night. It rolled completely over up on it's wheels then the slosh flipped it back on it's side.
He walked out of it with a small bone broken in his hand.

Here he is taking a picture with his new cell phone. His old rubber amoured phone flew apart bouncing around the cab. He had to run 1/4 mile to get to a phone. Adrenalin must have been pumping cause he don't like to run. :)

Back on it's wheels. He was one luck boy. Even the tow truck driver figured so.
Didn't get a lot of sleep after the 1:30 phone call last night.

Your son must have had a guardian angel. That is one bad wreck, and we are all very thankful that he emerged with such minor injuries. Tell him from now on to keep the sunny side up and the dirty side down. :)

Awfully glad to hear he's alright, that's pretty scary business. What caused this disaster? Did he spill whatever it was he was hauling?

He came around a curve in the dark and the back of the trailer got out into the grass on the soft shoulder on a gravel road and when he tried to pull it back the load shifted and rolled him into the ditch. He was hauling water and the tanker, thank goodness, stayed intact so there was no still. They pumped the water onto another truck and hauled it away. They then hooked onto the truck and tanker with a large tow truck and the owners John Deere and pulled them upright. He now knows just how little is protecting a trucker in a roll over, basically nothing but fiberglass. Could have been so much worse and we only have the good Lord to thank that he had no need for a young truck driver in Heaven last night.

Looks like someone was watching over him...And it does make grey hairs.....
Just got home tonight from checking cows and the wife got called back to the Hospital- even tho she wasn't on call....A head on east of town with at least 6 involved :shock: The first thing I did was call every one of the kids cell phones to check where they were...Thank God- its none of them....

That's a bad wreck, and it looks like he's walking with a cane, :? . Was he wearing his seat belt? Glad it wasnt any worse than it was.

The cane was the owner with a crow bar. :) He's on the road with a cast on his arm.

I'm not sure about the seat belt. :?

I am sure that would put the gray hairs on him a little faster also. These gravel roads can be dangerous whether you are familiar with them or not. If you are familiar with them, a person tends to be in a hurry and drives way to fast for most of them and when you are not familiar with them the curves come up to fast, and can't see on the other side of the knolls. The soft shoulders and pot holes take their toll also.
From what gravel roads I have been on in Canada, they put ours to shame. We would be cruizing down them like I was on a interstate if I had that nice of roads. :wink:
