    Below is a link to pics of an accident that happened to a friend last Friday. He was run off the road buy a speeding four wheeler trying to slow down before the cops saw him. As bad as it was, the driver only suffered cuts, scratches, and some bruised ribs. The seatbelt saved his life.

    Was the car in front of him and they over braked to avoid being caught speeding?

    And 90% of the time we catch the #### for it even when not at fault. Glad to hear he's ok.

    The driver of the other car actually helped our driver out of the truck. He did not find out till later that the guy who got him out of the truck was the one who caused the accident. Do not know what he was charged with at this time. The officer told my boss they could not find any registration or insurance papers in the vehicle (or what was left of it).


    The car was actually passing to the left of him. The driver of the car tried a pannic stop at 100+mph and his car went right violently into the driver side steer tire of the truck.
