I got hit by Swift

SWIFT= (SURE WE'RE INSURED FOR THAT)

 

A accident two days ago that did not involve a truck but the follow up footage on Channel 5 in Washington, DC showed an 2006 accident where a tractor trailer with a load of wood flipped over on the same flyover ramp in Bethesda, MD; (I 495 Inner Loop to I 270 Northbound) and killed a four wheeler below with falling timber.

It also showed a tanker truck in Baltimore, MD that flipped over the I 895 fly over ramp and exploded on I 95 when it fell down and I think it killed some four wheelers.

A local AAA spokesmen from the Washington, DC office were on the TV saying that flyover ramps need to be remade to the effect that barriers will keep trucks, buses and cars from falling off of fly over ramps.

That sucks.

 

If you guys have such bad luck, you might consider taking a picture of the vehicle next to you with the cell phone or your digital camera. It would show the number and only takes a second.

 

Did you ever consider removing the target from your truck?

Ahh, I know it is disgusting when this happens. It isn't hard to see how somebody can have an accident, but I just don't see how somebody can hit something, and then just take off.

 

I guess i just dont understand people then , are we that much in of hurry too hit and run, sure its gonna smart from the saftey dept, but take your whopping like a man or women and move on , i myself would've looked at the big pic and if limted room , pulled up a tad and if truck waiting too fuel , went back had a chat as too explain what your doing, if the other trucker knew , that be a big plus too everyboby, everyboby too much a hurry today.

 

i was thinking along the same lines, but i was going to say, carry a small pocket pad, and write down the information from trucks on both sides of where you are parked, but this will get old quick as well. now let's look at this at another view.
suppose the truck parking next to him does not hit him, but yet another truck cutting through the parking area does.....no what do you do........???

 

Can't be prepared for everything.

When parked for the night, I note the vehicles next to me.

 

sorry to hear that condo...that stinks....glad you are ok tho..
