may have a totaled truck

[Blaine@PSI]

will know more in the morning as for me the ol truck did its job in protecting the passenger and taking the brunt of the impact. Ended up in a ditch nose first after sliding on 2 wheels across 5 lanes of traffic and did not hit a single person. what a miracle in the least. I am ok little shaken up and sore and sad about my truck. but the make trucks everyday. I am the one that is not replaceable. anyway i will let you guys know more as i do.

by the way ESH this happened in Baytown right by the go cart track on 146. you can see the marks from the tires and RIMS the back of the cab is dented in from the bed hitting it and the front clip is destroyed. and 3 rims are gone and atleast 3 tires.

basically what happened is I was in the left lane behind a van, I went to change lanes to the right. when I got there in the right hand lane there was a slow moving car there mind you i was traveling 60mph. The car was lost and didn't know whether they wanted to make the turn or not to the street coming up. I jammed the brakes hard and the truck started to slide the front tires overwhelming the ABS system. I realized there was no room to stop so I went for the shoulder of the road, luckily I was able to pass the slow moving car without any impact on the right of it but there was a culvert coming up. I braced for it and the truck back caught the edge of it causing a slight spin. I corrected but i was in gravel on the driver side and grass on the passenger side so the control of the truck was very limited. I was able to pull up out of the shoulder area but in doing so the right side of the truck started getting traction. I am heading across the lanes to the left now on 2 wheels skipping and I can hear in slow motion the wheels digging into the pavement and knowing that at anytime i can catch a bad bounce and the truck will roll over, a few times I saw the sky and NO road(bad feeling). by this time the front passenger wheel has rolled off of the rim causing even less ability to control the truck. As I go across the median and into on coming traffic. Miraculously i was able to manuver thru without contacting anyone, then sliding into a ditch nose first about 7 feet down missing a telephone pole by about 6" to the left. this is were everything came to a rest and I was getting my seat belt thanking god i was OK and not getting my but kicked by the airbags. been there done that still have the scars from them.

thanks for all the well wishes and yes i am glad I am ok somewhat. Oh yea i was the only person in the truck sorry for the confusion.
