Wow, you are very lucky. Glad you're okay.

pektel · 01-10-2011, 02:51 PM

WOW. Someone was watching out for you, and probably deserves a thank-you (although I'm sure you've already done that a thousand times!)

Chainsaw13 · 01-10-2011, 02:57 PM

Glad to hear you're ok. That front end did it's job and totally accordianed in.

massphatness · 01-10-2011, 02:57 PM

When you first texted the pic, I thought you were kidding. Scared the bejeezus outta' me, brother. Goes without saying that I'm glad you're OK. Time to put a cot in the restaurant.

T.G · 01-10-2011, 02:59 PM

Glad to hear you're ok Richard. At least you walked away and only killed your truck.

I did something similar back in 94 or 95, except it involved CA-18 and a big rock, glad I didn't take anyone out and that I didn't miss the rock. If I had, they probably would have found what was left of me about 1000ft down the side of the mountain.

If you ever feel that you want to talk about what you just went through, shoot me a PM with your phone number.

jledou · 01-10-2011, 02:59 PM

Glad you were OK Richard!

G G · 01-10-2011, 03:03 PM

God was with you no doubt. Glad you are ok brother.

BlackDog · 01-10-2011, 03:04 PM

Holy Chit!

I'm SO glad you're OK Richard, that is scary!

Ogre · 01-10-2011, 03:13 PM

Glad you are OK brother, thank God you were in a big truck!!!!

CigarNut · 01-10-2011, 03:16 PM

It's good that you are OK -- that does not look like an accident that many walk away from.

mhailey · 01-10-2011, 03:20 PM

Praise God you are okay!!!

neoflex · 01-10-2011, 03:25 PM

Glad to hear your ok. Looks like the cabin stayed pretty well intact and kept you protected. I have seen my share of MVAs into trees and not many vehicles fair that well. I'm just glad to see you were driving a large vehicle as the smaller cars never fair so well and to get the occupants out usually require cutting of of Doors, roofs and sometimes dash board lifts and the injuries tend to be extensive.
Give the family a big hug! Again, I'm glad your ok and able to log on and tell us the tale.

01-10-2011, 03:27 PM

Man I am glad you are okay. I am always worried this is going to happen to me on the way to school. I am sorry it probably cost you a bunch of money with having to buy a new car but I am glad you are still alive.

Richard, you definitely had some divine help with you. Glad you came out mainly unscathed. Hug the family.

newcigarz · 01-10-2011, 03:36 PM

I am glad to hear you are ok Richard. Thank God your family still has you.

I remember that truck when you came to Carlos's house. Didn't look like that though.

01-10-2011, 03:38 PM

Glad your okay.

Blindjimme · 01-10-2011, 03:51 PM

God was watching them build that Ford! Glad your alright Richard.

icehog3 · 01-10-2011, 03:52 PM

So happy you are all right, Richard.

AD720 · 01-10-2011, 03:53 PM

Wow. Glad you are OK Rich!
