mr. cob Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Howdy All, Just ran across this article and felt that I should post it here as a public service to warn folks of this dangerous soft drink and how consuming it may endanger yourself or others. http://www.thetruckersreport.com/drivers-coughing-fit-send-rig-into-23-new-cars/ Dave 2001 Peterbilt, 379, Known As "Semi-Sane II", towing a 2014 Voltage 3818, 45 foot long toy hauler crammed full of motorcycles of all types.

Yarome Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 His story sounds like hogwash to me. He doesn't think to brake and pull off of the road? Going over a curb wasn't a heads up it might be a good idea to put on the brakes? Down an embankment... through a pole... 23 cars (which should have been plenty to slow his rig)... he had to have been riding the gas to make it nearly 2 football field lengths through multiple obstacles like that.

Broncohauler Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 26 years ago when I still pulled double bottom dumps. I was sitting in a left turn lane the first vehicle in line. I luckily was empty and had my foot very lightly on the brake when BAM. I guy in a small pickup swerved into my lane and ran into the rear of my trailer. You stinger on the trailer used for pushing us out if we got stuck went over his hood and into the windshield. He hit the passenger side trailer duels so hard it tore the axle out of the trailer and pushed me 10 feet into the intersection. After they cut him out of the truck they asked him what happened and he said he SNEEZEDcausing them to swerve into my lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasFlyer Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 With that much damage and no evidence of brake application you could apply a little investigative analysis to combine the drivers statement and offer that there is a high likelihood that the driver was dreaming of his favorite carbonated beverage, only to be awaken from horribly loud noises of a horrific crash. Shortly after arriving at the scene of the crash, the driver came to the realization that the misfortunate driver of the vehicle, was him . That brought severe coughing and other unpleasant and uncontrollabl body functions .

Exile Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I know a guy that woke up with his car hanging part way off a bridge over a ship canal. He only remembered he had been sucking on a cough drop. He figures he choked on it. They gave him a ticket. Almost as dangerous as dr pepper. 98 379 with 12.7 DD LG Dodge w/5.9 CTD Chrome habit I’m trying to kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nana25k Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I actually am at my sisters just near where this happened. Having seen the aftermath a few days later and knowing the area its more like he clipped the pole and tree before hitting the cars. Its all pretty close together. Now if his story is true I don't know. However as a nurse I can tell you that choking on liquid can be very traumatic when it happens and I once had a a sneezing incident and nearly lost control of my car.

dblr Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 On the sneezing note we had a driver at my old company that had a sneezing attack while driving with a set of doubles and was so bad the 2nd trailer started whipping and smacked a police car on the shoulder, guess it was so bad he never got over as he should have but that was the story he stuck with. 2017 River Stone Legacy 38MB 2001 T2000 Kenworth 2009 Smart Passion ET Junior hitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
