Message:: [QUOTE="GasHauler, post: 189936, member: 2164"]Sorry to hear that one. I too have been through an accident that was no fault of mine where there was 2 deaths. That was back in 1991 and I still to this day remember every little detail. I can't shake it but just like Uncle Bill says the best thing is to get back up it that truck and keep going. I was pulling a truck and trailer loaded with gasoline when a car out of nowhere passed me on a two lane desert road. Another car was comong the other way and both him and I moved over onto the shoulder enough so he could get by. But the other car coming at us panicked and went too far and dropped off into the dirt. He oversteered and when the tires grabbed he shot in front of the car passing me and both of them just went up in the air and exploded. One of the cars hit my trailer and shaved the tank but did not rupture the skin of the tank. My boss came out and said I did nothing he wouldn't have done. He said it was their time and not mine. So you've just got to keep telling yourself it was not your fault. I know you've been over the accident in your mind a million times and that's normal. And I know you're tired of hearing others say it wasn't your fault. You just have to remember you're not alone. There are others that have been through this too and we're dealing with it just like you are. Life goes on and best thing you can do is pass your experience onto the new drivers. Good luck to you.[/QUOTE]
