Free lumber

Some of it is behind him. If you look close you can see a 2x4 leaning on the guardrail on the other side behind him. Also, if you look at the big pile it looks like some of that wrap they put around the bundles, I imagine that would slide pretty good. I haven't seen anything official but I'm 99% sure he was headed down the hill.

 

Here's one that gives a better perspective.

And I'll just throw a few boards in my pick up to help get 'em out of the way.

 

I was back through there today, heading up the hill this time. There are some tire marks though not what I'd expect. The guardrail the truck ended up on shows remarkably little damage. The guardrail on the other side that they hit first didn't fare as well. Must have been quite a ride. You can't tell in the video but I saw a good bit of lumber still on the embankment near where they first hit.

About the 9s mark in the video is where the truck ended up.
