Another Millis Experience

Hi Navyguy... Glad to hear that our posts as well as Baritone's videos have helped out another future driver in making a career choice. Thanks for your Service to our great Country... I'm in a USMC Family as well... My sister in law leaves for Chicago for Navy in June. Hope to see you around. Keep us posted

 

Is this the crash Dave?

Where u off to this we bear?

 

First let me say "thank you for your service"! My son is in Afganistan and appreciate what you all do!

Glad you enjoyed the video's - they are just me goofing around more than anything. Give Millis a call when you retire - we would love to have you as part of the team I am sure.

 

Yes this is it. I was about 5 car lenghts behind when he hit the bridge which followed with a huge explosion that looked to be at least 30 feet in the air. This same channel has a pic of the wreck from the West bound side and you can see my truck.

I stopped and grabbed my extinguisher as did another driver on the Westbound side - but there was nothing we could do. The fire was too intense. I couldnt even tell where the cab of the truck was as it appears it just broke apart when he hit the bridge and then the explosion. I saw nothing the resembled a cab and couldnt locate the driver in the wreckage. With in a few minutes the State Police made us all go back to our trucks since the trailer was marked as "Hazmat"!

As I was being interviewed by the Trooper - he told me they were looking for him for a while and were trying to catch up to him due to many complaints about his driving.

I asked the Trooper if he was ejected since I couldnt find him and he said - he didnt know- they too hadn't found him. However later in the morning - the corner did find him.

It was very hard to witness. I spent 12 years in the Fire Service and EMS but I was always there after it happened. Never as it happened.

I took a lot of video - but I wont post out of respect for this driver and his family.

 

What did you buy? I have a few cook books just for crock pot's etc. I'll gladly share. I have made some great meals this winter.

Spent the last few days researching summer time meals and just got a new GF Grill. Also got a couple of the disposable grills so at night I can actually cook out on the grill. I really try to stay out of truck stops if at all possible. Not to mention it saves a ton of money.
