Pancaked!

By Jen Dunnaway

I know that big rigs are the lifeblood of industry, and they have as much right to use our highways as anyone else, blah blah blah, but when I see stuff like this it makes me think we should go back to shipping everything by train. This car in Brazil was completely squashed when a truck lost control on the highway and rolled over on it. I’m assuming there were no survivors–the thing looks like it’s been through the crusher! Remember to give those rigs a wide berth, guys. Via WreckedExotics.

I do the same. I get around a rig as quickly as possible. My brother is a trucker, and the horror stories he tells keep me up at night, especially the ones about logging trucks. Yikes!!

no evidence of extraction..makes me wonder,is this classified as a rescue or a recovery?

One thing that really boils my rice on the highways is when left-lane lingerers… those utterly brainless leftward speed-matchers decide to do their thing which puts me next to a rig.

I pass rigs with authority. Often I think the truckers realize I’m there when I’m about 50 feet past already. Never trust rig drivers. Their payloads can eliminate the chance needed for a miracle to happen.
