Bad morning..

[tar12]

This happened Aug. before last. Running about 45-50 mph in a rain storm.I topped out on a rise to find a vehicle sideways in the road after hydro-planing.I had a choice of hitting them broadside ,hitting a row of big mature oak trees or taking the field.I took the field and hit the the standing water as well.2 full rolls later(one in the air),I came to rest upside down in the field with water pouring into the car.The roof had crushed in across my back,pinning me in.I had to force the roof off of my back and kick out a back window.I only recieved a strained back and glass cuts!Somebody was watching out for me that day!

Yikes!

Glad you walked away from that one. Looks like it could have been much worse.

Yeah, that's a bad morning.

Looks like it could have been much worse! Great decision on not hitting others or trees! Sometimes great decisions are made in a nano-second. Whew. Hard to see a car like that and say "good driving." But.....good driving!

Glad that it hasn't seemed to hinder your shooting ;D

You have the nano-second thing right!It was not great driving skill that saved the day.I only had a nano-second to attempt to turn the wheel to the right.Then someone else was driving!
