Pete's Wreck

Pete's poor little red truck would not start in the freezing COLD, so dad let him take is FORD F150 to work. On his way home at 3:25pm, driving down Martha Truman Road, Pete and the oncoming car started sliding on packed snow. They collided.

After they collided, (the car above) another car could not slow and t-boned the FORD, Thankfully he hit the rear tire and "bumped" off the FORD with minor damages. The FORD has a paint mark and the Tano Cover seems to be tweeked, hopefully that will be fixable.

The PT Cruiser came to rest here. As you can see, Pete kept sliding down the ravine, but Pete was able to drive out and park on the road.

My heart sank when I saw how far he went down the hill. (Personally, I would have crapped my pants! He did not smell like he did.)

This is the damage that was done to her car. She had it towed off. She said she was on her way to WaysideWaifs to pick up her dog. I offered a ride to her, but her husband was going to pick her up from the tow lot and they would go get her dog.

This was the point of impact. You can see the tire marks where he tried to swerve out of the way to stop.

OUCH. All fixable and everyone was safe and un-injured.

While they waited for the Officer to make a report, two other cars rear-ended & Pete was t-boned. I was on the phone with him and heard him shriek at one point when another car almost hit another car. Missouri really has a problem.

I drove out to take Pete his wallet, because of course he left it at home today...at State Line coming from Kansas into Missouri, the roads went from dry as a bone to "OH MY GOD". They literally stop plowing at the state line and Missouri is just Horrible. Where do they put their tax dollars because it is not in the roads!

So, this is the same road that Pete totaled his red pickup this past Spring, on his way into work one morning, when he hit a deer. He was able to buy parts and fix the Red truck maybe he can be so lucky with the FORD.

Moral of the story...This Road is costing us a fortune.
