telcoman Posted October 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Injured but alive. 2 of us. We were lucky no one was in back seat, that part got completely crushed, i think it rolled over a boulder in that spot. Worst part was I could smell propane and the truck was still running. I could not reach the key, It took half a minute to release my belt and I fell on my head, but at least I got it turned off.

Chalkie Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Wow! Just wow! A number of years ago my in laws were coming back home and hit black ice and a wicked cross wind. My FIL was able to guide the rig off the highway and plant it on its side. The damage was no where near that bad. Glad you all did not have major injuries. Property can be replaced, life and limb... not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telcoman Posted October 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Guy changed lanes in front of me and forced me off the road, all captured on my web cam.

RV_ Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Congrats on coming out of that mess alive and one piece. Most folks in a later model truck that's crash tested and belted in in a truck make it. Glad you guys were in that group!

RV_ Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Glad you made it. Motorhomes do much the same in rollovers. I don't ride in them either save steel framed passenger buses like the Prevost. Trucks and fivers are much safer and survivable in a wreck, if belted in the truck towing it.

telcoman Posted October 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Canada, not the US or Mexico, you are probably fooled, but Canada does have desert, this area has prickly pear cactus, I had to crawl through a patch of it getting out through the window which had been completely smashed..
