    Man I feel for that guy. We have all made a wrong turn from time to time but he should have known that would not be a turn around spot.

    D### it, i feel bad for the guy. And i know i am wrong for kinda laughing. But i'm just wondering why he just didn't back straight back after he did all of the damage. I mean i can see the drive way on the left. It would be the little extra room he needed.

    Scary.
    Do keep them coming though. There is a friends of mine that designs Web sites etc if needed....
    No news yet, so tried emailing Mr Simone again. If no joy, I'll get it over with and have some fun I guess.
    Like I said, keep them coming!

    Normally I feel bad for a person too when I see them in a tight spot & having major problems...But this guy? No way. There are rookie mistakes, & then there are just plain stupid mistakes, & this one went way past the rookie mistakes. I'm about as far from a professional driver as you can be, & even I know you can't turn a truck like that. And what I really don't understand is, when he realized he couldn't make it under the overpass, why he didn't just align himself so he could back into the road or driveway or whatever that is on the left side. Or at the very least, back up far enough to try the U-Turn right at that same road. Like I said, I'm no expert, but common sense goes a long way...& this guy didn't seem to have much. But then again, what do I know? lol...


    I just found this one. Looks like it happened 3 years ago, but there was a fatality:

    How in Gods name could a company still be operating when something like this happened. I understand they could not control his actions at all times but they could control not allowing him to drive without a license.
