bad day here at the junk yard!

a pickup was going to turn in to our place and the driver did not see a semi coming his way.

when the truck hit the pickup it blew out his tires and broke the steering box.
so the driver had no control and he went right into our warehouse.

worst part of the whole deal was a 2-3 year old was in the pick up right were the truck hit. i do not know how he is doing but he was flown to amarillo not to long after the mishap.

so if you have parts ordered or were going to call me it will be a messed up few days for us and a while before we get back to normal.


thanks, bob

 

Oh man Bob! We'll be praying for you all and the little guy in particular.

Will the truck drivers insurance cover the damage?

 

damn that sux, always sad to hear about a kid getting hurt, i hope he/she recovers, and sorry to see what happened to your parts house

 

Oh shit!! Sorry about your building Bob. Hope the little kid pulls through.

 

My GOD !!! Sorry to hear this. Prayers up !

 

Holy Shit!!!!!!!!!!

 

Holy crap. Hope everyone ends up healthy after that one. The parts and vehicles are not important in this case. Glad no one was standing in the building.

 

Apart from that how did your day go?

 

I'll bet that was a hell of a noise...outside the building and inside...hope the little one is OK...how are the drivers of either truck...???

R-

 

kerry--- the truck driver was totaly cleared.

redlinetoys--there was a guy back in that very area about 15 minutes before the crash. so it was close!

40 stude--- it sound like a regular truck tire blowout, then the whole building started rumbling.

 

Damn man..Sorry to hear about this.. I too hope the little one, and everyone involved are doing ok..

 

Wow Bob, that is brutal. I pray for that little one, my son is the same age and that kind of news makes my stomach ache.

I hope all gets back to normal soon for you.

That is horrible. Hope the lil guy pulls through. Glad no one was there in the building as well. Hope it all goes well.

 

wow. that's scary. How do you not see a Semi?

Hope that kid is ok, and the driver of the pick-up had good property damage coverage.

 

Prayers to all involved!

That looks like it really could have been worse. best of luck on the recovery.

Man how fast was the semi moving? looks like he went some distance.. destroyed that PU...

Sorry to hear about the little one... Wishing you a quick fix on the building

 

I pray for the lttle fella. WTF do you mean " Will the truck drivers insurance cover the damage"? Of course it will. The federal minimum insurance is $1M. And they, in turn, WILL RECOVER from the pick-up driver who turned in front of him and caused the "accident". I've been an OTR trucker for over 30 years ,and will never understand how someone "doesn't see" an object 65 feet long , 13 feet high , and 10 feet wide. And who will pay for this? A small child and an innocent business . People, get your heads outta your asses and LOOK.........Ole Pork

 

Wow, thats a bad one! Hope the child pulls thru. Glad none of you guys were injured in the warehouse. Sounds like the PU was at fault. Hope he has more than a minimum liability limits insurance policy, Texas lame law requiring only $15,000 property damage liability insurance is changing but anything less than several hundred thousand wouldn't be enough in this accident.

 

I too am thinking of the little one, Kids that young are surprisingly resilient, let's hope that's the case this time!

 

Wow Bob, that is a horrendous accident. I'm feeling for the little guy and sending up some prayers for all affected. That's a scary scene, glad to hear all that happened to you was some property damage, could have been significantly worse. Take care and keep us posted.

 

Hope the little guy is allright. From the looks of the pictures its amazing that anyone involved came out OK. Good to hear no one was in that part of the building at that time.

 

60 MPH don't seem like much, but with a couple of tons behind you on a trailer, it will ruin your day. Looks like Okie plates on the killed pickup.

Hopefully they will check if he was on the cell phone when he decided to tango with the other lane.

 

wow...

 

Wow Bob... hope the youngster makes it out okay.. good to hear you weren't hurt..

-Juan

 

Man that's scary!

Doc.

 

That's a bad wreck... I saw the tailgate of the PU in the back window.... Brutal...anybody who survives that one is lucky.
I drive for a living, and I see alot of drivers out there these days not really paying attention...just like this one wasn't.
Best wishes & luck to the little one.

Bob

 

man thats terrible..hope every one involved is ok

 

MAN!

And you say nothing ever happens in Wellington!
