    And a serious crash at the Alma, TX Love's exit. Not sure if it's a fatality crash or not, but life flight was called. That bull hauler's driver's side fender and hood were almost up to the passenger side back seat of a small SUV and there was another car behind his trailer with heavy damage with air bag deployment.

    Wow you are turning into quite the journalist Mr. @supersnackbar, I hope the folks in the car were OK, definitely looks like a bit time hit.

    Just a guess, but it may have just been the bull wagon was in the wrong place at the wrong time when the other 2 were swapping paint.

    Also had a guy pass me on a two lane, he hit a chunk of wood at 80, showered my truck with wood chunks. Left a nice dent. IMG_6303.jpeg

    I have a sneaking suspicion that our new plastic and aluminum equipment won't have nearly the lifespan of our old steel and heavy duty equipment.
     
    Lonesome, Winnyf1 and navypoppop Thank this.

    I personally never had a piece of my bumper fall off on my old truck. Of course it was one piece of aluminum. A lot of my coworkers tried to test their strength a few time. The bumper usually lost. This was cause by rough as hell back roads in texas causing a bolt to disappear.
     
    Winnyf1 and Oxbow Thank this.
