    I drove past it probably less then 20 minutes after it happened.He's lucky he didn't roll those doubles into the trees. He crashed through 20' of trees with the doubles resting against the trees on their right side. The tractor was turned to the left. Cab was in good condition. Looked like he could put it into gear and pull those trailers out if he could get traction ;)

    I saw one black four wheeler with the left rear quarter bashed pretty good. I'm guessing Estes was in the middle lane when it it happened.

    when a car "cuts you off"..I think I would just hold the wheel tight and brace for impact., I would try to lessen it by moving to the right a bit but swerving to avoid a crash is just asking for bigger problems.

    Yes, black Lincoln. I will always maintain my lane. I need to install a dash cam.

    I don't know if the driver was OK, but I'll be he was shaken up and sore today.

    If im driving and someone cut me off i would go faster if i was not going the speed limit and hit you harder for been stupid, put my life and other motorist life in danger. a four wheeler went underneath my trailer in ny driving and texting on her cell phone i didn't even ask her if she was okay until emergency guys showed up.

    Almost went head-on with a four-wheeler who tried to pass a column of cars in a no passing zone. Just before the anticipated impact I thought to myself: Better bite the bullet and take the ditch to your left, no way in hell I am rolling my doubles for your stupidity. Instead, he moved to his right and pushed another car into the ditch. Guess he had his priorities in mind. 9,999 FJ reward points later, I got myself a dash-cam. Has night vision and everything.
