So about 5pm this afternoon I was up at the store next door talking to some friends. I was getting ready to walk back over to the house (a one min. or less walk), when I heard this awful sound. It was not the sound of brakes but the sound of tires screaking on the road. It is very hard to explain. As I look up I see a semi flip that was loaded with timber. 2 people took off in their cars to block oncoming traffic and check the driver. I was left to call 9-1-1. The semi flipped into a deep ditch and the timber was thrown all into the woods. The driver was ok he had some lacerations to the head but was out and about by the time the two first guys showed up.
Me on the other hand I about passed out while I was on the phone with 9-1-1. I guess it was the shock of everything, adrenaline, thinking the driver died etc. Two times my knees buckled and I had to grab the person closest to me to keep from going down and I was shaking so badly. I ran home and grabbed my camera (I told you I lived close) and took a few pictures. I made it back before the cops ever showed up. Here are the pictures.
