I have two close encounters. One passed me on the shoulder going the other way at night - closing speed about 120. Poopy pants.
The second was not a year later, one came off a truck, uncoiling as it went, launched right over an exit ramp like a roll of stainless steel toilet paper on Devil’s Night.
Both from trucks overturning on the PA Turnpike. The only comfort is I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have felt a thing.
The trucks on the PA Turnpike freak my wife out when we are close to them. She’s probably right. (As usual....)
I drive as little as possible at night now.
“Both from trucks overturning on the PA Turnpike.”
PA is the WORST, why, why is that?
You are lucky and I pray you remain lucky!
several years ago a flywheel fell of a truck and hit a car going in the opposite direction. Decapitated the driver. The joke was he actually downshifted and pulled over.(nnot)
