Default Driver makes a boo boo

This happened at the Rapid City TA last week.


The flatbed driver just kept going even after he hit the front of this guys truck.

The guy probably didn't even know that he hit this truck. :roll: I hope that they caught him.

I mean the flat next to him tried to turn into the space, and just kept going till he finally noticed he rolled up on the green truck.

Yeah,..thats the flat. The cops were there fast, I don't know what happened after that. It barely did any damage to the flat.

That will be an expensive repair job. I know those breather canisters are not cheap. And it looks like he may have broken the tie rod or bent the axle around. In any case I would expect a wrecker bill. He isn't going anywhere with that wheel. :?

I don't get how the flat couldn't feel the hit to begin with. They said drivers were running from all over the lot to try and get the flats attention, they said he just kept going :roll: .

That is a lot of damage to not have felt something. I don't know, perhaps the guy was on drugs or just too tired. In any case, his insurance company will not be happy. Having had this happen to me twice, I know the victim was not in a good mood when he found out. :evil:
