    Call me Lucky

    http://patch.com/massachusetts/mansf...95-interchange

    So I'm minding my own business traveling in the right lane of a 3 lane highway with absolutely no traffic when some Idiot (I'm being kind here) traveling in the second lane slams into the left side of my tractor trailer causing me to lose control and I end up rolling the rig over on it's left side.

    If you see the car in the background you can see that the entire roof is crushed. I believe my 53 foot trailer landed on it. I came away with only a broken rib, 1 stitch in the back of my head and a bruised elbow. I'll be out of work for 6 to 8 weeks.

    So if someone tells you seat belts are overrated show them this pic and maybe it'll sink in.

    Wow, glad your injuries aren't worse Tim....... er, I mean Lucky.

    Having driven the Mountain Melee with three broken ribs one time, I'm glad to report you'll still be able to drive the 911.

    What Jim won't tell you is that they broke doing high G's in a brilliant left hand sweeper when he refused to lift...



    Speedy recovery Tim, glad you're still with us.
