    3 years ago I laid my log truck on it's side pretty hard, but it landed in pretty deep snow. It was well below zero and I knew it would be a few hours before anybody came by , so I just stayed in it. When the loggers did come out and I climbed out, it didn't look so bad, we had to wait a couple of days before we could get the loader down there and unload it, when we set her back up in the road, the only thing I needed was a mirror and bracket, loaded her back up and headed to town, couldn't even find a scratch. lol

    I rolled a water truck into a creek going to a pad. Came closer to drowning than I ever wanted to be. Ground slipped into creek and took me with it. Was in December. Cold bath lol. Truck only had 700 miles on it.

    The cab was damaged more from the recovery than the actual accident.

    I would hope you weren't in it when the cab got to that shape.
    A friend of mine hit an angus bull on the navasota river bridge, it got under the steer axle and took him right off of it, with single axle cabover and a 53 foot reefer and load of mushrooms. lol He was a swimming and water skiing junkie, but said he didn't know which way was up when he finally got out of the truck. lol

    I was not. I was submerged in the water. I extended my neck and was able to reach above the water to breathe. I undid seatbelt and climbed out of the passenger side. There was a van full of sand haulers behind me so they ran to the bank. I couldn’t pull myself up so they pulled me. I thought my legs were injured. I forgot I was wearing rubber boots because it was raining and they filled with water LOL.
