    Somebody got hurt. Someone got injured. Sheesh. All I hear is "the truck, the loads, the milk, the cows..."
    About the human being in that car?! Crickets.

    What do you want him to rent a billboard? The car had one occupant and he/she got injured. You want more call the sheriff’s office and ask for more details.

    Imo the fact that he walked away unscathed is the important part here. You however do not seem to care about the “truck driver” our own forum member!!!

    honestly im glad the guy that ran the stop sign got a little banged up...... i dont wish him dead but some pain might be a reminder of the importance of obeying traffic control devices. maybe he will put his #### phone down next time and focus at the task on hard...... driving his car..... the next time he pulls that stunt he might kill someone, he might hit a car that has wife and kids in it.

    as i said no fatalities and the guy was able to talk.

    Give thanks to whomever / whatever you believe in. I used to pull tanks of asphalt. You way walked away unscathed.

    Prayers that the driver of the 4wheeler DOES heal quickly, however. Bet he learned his lesson.

    My wife still remembers when she was 5 y/o, with her late grandparents in NY, and they drove UNDER a semi. Unscathed physically; wife was TERRIFIED all her life as a child/passenger even being NEAR T/T's..... and that happened in NY / LI.

    Now she drives, too....and has MAD respect for usn's out here. Rarely a driver keeps a tank upright. Great job. Stay HUMBLE, fault or not. JMHO.

    I'm glad you are OK. It sounds like you did everything right. I'm also glad your fuel tank didn't fail. Good job keeping it upright.

    Well,,,I'll tell you what the boss told me when I had my one and only wreck a month after I started driving semi's, "this makes you an experienced truck driver, because now you know what can happen". He put me in another truck the next day, and for the next 35 years and over 3 million miles, I never had another incident.

    If getting hit by a car DIDN'T shake you up, I'd be worried about you.
