JCM 9,130 #8 Posted June 4, 2020 Please have him checked out. 30 years ago I was delivering oil in a 1983 GMC topkick 3208 Cat 5+2 speed and after delivering the ticket to the mailbox I was walking back to the truck, when I got to the rear bumper I looked left and then turned right to get back to the cab and remember putting both hands up in front of my face to protect myself and within a split second I was hit by a west coast mirror on a 1 ton cube rental truck. I never went to be checked out and to this day my right wrist still feels that impact. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UN 1203 Flammable Liquid Placard -- Gasoline or Petrol I really wish that they would stop showing the edited version of this incident. The news version of the incident leaves out a truck driver who unknowingly entered a highway and was attacked by protestors. The clip that the news shows is after the driver broke free of his attackers & was fleeing in panic for his own safety. There is no volume in the clips of the driver laying on the air horn to warn protestors that he was coming through. You will notice in the clip that the driver does everything in his power to avoid running over the person lying in the road, he was not there to cause a seen or injure people. If you watch this jumbled up clip you will see some of the scenes that happened before he ran his truck towards a crowd, before he finally stopped and was pulled from the truck & beaten. . I'm not saying that the choices that the driver made were correct, but I can understand why he was in a panic. Edited June 4, 2020 by Achto 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bottjernat1 2,190 #11 Posted June 4, 2020 Ok so i found out more to this he actually hit the semi. totaled his truck. No drugs involved. Then he refused care and went home and was just chillin at home. I guess he called his pastor first then just went home. and the pastor and 1 other person knew and nobody else did. his mom,dad, not anybody knew and that is why folks were freaking out. He is more embarrassed then anything. Everyone walked away a ok! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
