    It's the driver who has to live through it. Gotta be tough getting back in the seat after something like that.

    I'ld guess he didn't, I'm not sure I would.
    I read a statistic once that said 70% of accidents involving a big rig are proven to be the fault of the four wheeler . having smaller vehicles they are more likely to die in a crash than the truck driver.

    I've heard that statistic too. I'd say no way the 4 wheeler lived. I was referring to the driver of the rig having to live with that. Even though it's not his fault, I'd bet it shook him up a bit. If he made it through that is.

    Smh .. sad sight but the funny part is I was showed this before too and explained to why it was preventable.

    I pray he survived but if he did the board would've made it more of a painful recovery.

    My parents always taught me if I didn't have anything nice to say not to say anything at all; obviously you never learned that lesson.
