Description

from what I have heard the driver was trying to make a u-turn and decided cut across a curb next to a restaurant but failed to realize there was a stop sign and a electric post.you can see the imprint of the post and marks of creosote on top of the trailer.however from the force of impact I drew a conclusion he was on the side street and was driving too fast and tried to cut across the parking lot to avoid running out onto Military Parkway a very busy thoroughfare, striking the post as the trailer was almost ready to turn over.any way the power lines fell on the trailer and was sparking so he drove about a small block to get away from them. right after impact the trailer collapsed and made marks on the street from dragging.the trailer was loaded with pallets of materials looking like cement bags it took more than 12 hours for wreckers to unload the cargo and remove the wrecked trailer I worked on straightening two posts that was leaning on my fence.I had added concrete twice before but the posts kept leaning.I think ants had made a nest on one side of a post causing the dirt to be pulverized. I added 240 pounds of concrete this time I am up again with sinus thanks for your visit and any comments

Ouch is right. Proves some folks do not belong behind the steering wheel of a moving vehicle.

Yeah 'they cant fix stupid'....so Ron White says ;-) Great shot of this even though, sad it had to happen it is...some people just need to slow down, stop and THINK before making the next decision. Glad nobody was hurt, usually the innocent bystander is. Great shot Richard.
