Going northbound Friday night on Rt 89 in New Hampshire,a Swift truck and myself,were traveling together.[ yeah my truck is that slow]. It was cold,foggy, raining, and spitting snow.We were taking our time ,meaning, we hit a hill. As we flew up the hill at 42 miles an hour,a Smart car screamed past us,hit a giant puddle, and vaulted over the guard rail.We managed to pull over,and the Swift driver,-[Bob Smith ] who ,by the way,said that he doesn't want to be identified, and I jumped over the guard rail and slid down the embankment.
We managed to pry open the doors and we pulled 22 clowns out of the bright pink Smart car.It was mayhem,rubber noses and pancake make up EVERYWHERE!.The only injury was to Zippy who accidentally had his horn embedded in an most unfortunate place.We managed to get them up to the road where a Fiat 500 came along with 4 more clowns in it.All the wreck victims got in and off they flew.
Bob [ sorry...Mr X ] and I had coffee an hour later,and we started thinking............What if we missed someone?? neither one of us checked the glove box.Could we be held liable ?? Have you ever have something similar happen to you??

I read about that in Global Edition newspaper online. They are looking for you to reward you. Those guys in the Smart car were terminal managers on their way to Washington, DC to testify & give input about mandatory EOBR's.
