= Not good, well at least for the glass.
I was on my way home yesterday after PT. I just passed a Fed Ex truck. I looked up the road and saw that I was not going to miss it. It was at windshield height. I moved to the center lane to try and get a more to the end of the branch. Just before I hit the limb I ducked across the front seats just in case it came into the cab of my truck. Right after it hit I "popped back up" to continue driving. I slowed and pulled to the side of the road.
Damage report. Not as bad as I thought. Took out the entire windshield. Glass everywhere. No damage to me. No body damage to the truck.
Someone was up above watching over me.
Glad you made it ok. [thumbsup]
wow jim... that was a close call.
glad you're ok.
got glass coverage on the truck?
Yes.
Truck was fixed the same day [thumbsup]
Years ago I had a similar incident.
Tree limb penetrated the passenger compartment and impaled the passengers seat.
Luckily no one was sitting in it.
Holy cow that's crazy. :o
Glad to hear your okay. [thumbsup]
[obligatory ?]
Did you get any pictures?
Dude that sucks. Did you report it to the city? Is the branch still there or did the truck break it off?
The truck smashed it. What was left the car behind me got.
Yeah I reported it.
