Feeling Lucky
 

I travel a lot for work putting on 55-60k miles per year. When you drive that much things are bound to happen. Today it did.
I was traveling east bound on I-90 just east of Erie when I noticed a truck driver in the west bound lanes flashing his head lights. I knew something was up. I merged to the right lane and about 30 seconds later cars crashing everywhere. I managed to avoid three cars and one tractor trailer. I then got tapped in the rear sending me sideways to the ditch. Truck rolled after hitting another car that was already in the ditch. Truck driver behind me said I did a hell of a job wheeling that truck through the carnage.
I walked away with not injuries just a bit sore now.
Seat belts and side air bags did there job.
Yes I did buy a power ball ticket!

WOW! You call it lucky...I call it blessed. Glad your OK!

Lucky your gasser wasn't in the truck.
Good to hear your ok, stay safe!

Looks like a mess. Glad your ok.

Whimpy I sure glad that you are doing good . But as far as the lottery goes I am sure that I am going to win so just play the Saturday lottery :) I always have my CB radio on in bad weather / heavy NJ NY traffic and it has saved me a few times now . If you want a radio I am sure I have a spare one around I will give it to you no Charge .:D That way I will get to ride with you this year !

It was a mess 100 cars involved.
Thank good the gasser wasn't in the truck. Company allready told me that any personal items or tools will not be covered.
Dirt Dud we will ride this year

Happy to know you're OK.
Ford tough!!

Sounds like one heck of a ride! Glad you came out ok.

Glad you're ok man. That looked bad. Anyways, I call it blessed! To God be the Glory.

Glad you came out of that one okay...

Reminds me of a crash I read about last year - I-84 in columbia river gorge. This guy was really lucky - believe or not - he only needed two band aids...
