Everybody look at this ! (disturbing pictures)

Every driver on here take a long hard look at these two photo's. This is my girlfriends cousin, she was T-boned by a big truck at a stop sign day before yesterday . She had her 4 month old son in the car with her at the time. Both are OK only minor injuries. This is what the results are when a big truck hits a car , even at slow speeds.

 

I know these pics are very confronting and graphic but I want everyone to just appreciate the damage we can do if we are careless in our trucks. Like all of us I see the traffic accidents and wrecks on the highways daily and sometimes I think i just put it out of my thoughts and carry on but this one really hits hard being that its family and involves a big truck as well. I dont actually know the entire particulars of the crash, who was at fault etc but blame is not much consolation if someone is killed. Please everyone be carefull and take care out there on the road.

 

Like I said above , I am not sure of the particulars. I am not really concerned with fault or blame , just want this to highlight the need for us to be carefull. I wont even speculate on what happened as I dont know the details but its a near tradgedy regardless of who was technically at fault according to the traffic laws. I was reading an article in a canadian trucking magazine a few weeks back about the effect on commercial drivers of being involved in fatal accidents. All said that regardless of fault they never got over the event and some had issues to this day about events from 20 years ago. Even if the truck driver in this case was not at fault I doubt it will change the pyscological impact this has no doubt had on him allready. I for one didnt for a moment think " What SOB did this" I just thought " thank the big man upstairs that they are ALL ( trucker as well) ok". If that trucker is at fault then I truly hope he can come to terms with what happened and count himself lucky he didnt kill anybody . And if the girl was then I hope that she is more attentive and learns from her mistake. I certainly think all involved have enough to cope with physically and mentally regardless of who was at fault.

 

I understand the frustration we all feel when 4 wheelers do stupid things around big trucks or just blatantly disregard the road rules. We all see and deal with it multiple times a day. But fault or not our trucks can cause major damage in even a minor fender bender. I know I will be a little more carefull from now on after this news.
