CODE 3 BOX TRUCK CRASH!!! TRUCK DESTROYED, BUT DRIVER SURVIVED!!!

Жыл бұрынHello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching. This is another full 4K video!!! Grab your popcorn and favorite beverage then sit back and get ready for this feature-length production!!! On this job, we were quite shocked to find out the driver survived after seeing the crash site. The truck was almost unrecognizable and how the driver survived...well, I have my thoughts that. Back to the job, we bring out the rotator, of course, our Peterbilt 389X with a Miller Industries 1150R towing and recovery unit, our Western Star with a Vulcan V70, Mike and the Ford rollback, as well as our traffic control unit. Ethan and Talon were on another job in the Peterbilt 4024 and missed this one. Ethan was not happy about missing it. Rain and heavy traffic complicate this, already difficult challenge. But, hey, if it were easy, anyone could do it, right? At least that's what they say. Again, I'm very pleased the driver wasn't seriously injured. This was a fun job despite the dangers and challenges. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

Missouri is really good about trying to protect the tow operators while working along the roads, the fire department I'm on works really well with the tow truck companies and law enforcement, we will keep at least one of our fire apparatus on scene with the wreckers until they get it cleaned up. Most other fire departments in our area will usually clear as soon as their job is done, but we're there as long as the wrecker is. And they usually don't charge us if one of our apparatus needs towed. It's a win win for all involved.

No, that was an angel and a quick/smart response. The frame of that truck hit the tree square. No crumple zones. It sheared the bolts on the van body and sent it into the cab. Somehow he managed to survive being pinned up against the steering column like that. CMVs don't have impact tests like cars do. How could they on a cab and chassis? It is a luck thing. Glad it worked out like it did. It could have been much worse.

Very good observation. Engineering is where vehicles begin. I think about it every time I climb into my little SUV and start her up. I'm from Michigan, not far from The Motor City. An understanding of the auto industry and the brilliant engineers who design cars is part of my DNA. Ron's understanding of the fine points of where to attach what, how hard to pull, and all the tiny details, are what make him an outstanding example of this arcane craft.

Dalton is a fast learner. I watch these videos and think about when I was still able to do that kind of work. I used to get frustrated when watching these kind of channels because my body just can’t handle that much of a physical demand anymore. Now I just think back all the good times I had, as well as all the knowledge I’ve gained. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, Ron. You help make this 48 y/o, in what feels like an 80 y/o broken body, feel 20 again.

@@danaskubic2145 Very much so…but my mind likes trying to trick my body into doing things it knows I shouldn’t do. 🤣 I had a near fatal car accident in 1993 and a horrible work injury in 2009. Between those two events, I’ve had 22 surgeries. 2 neck (just had the second one), 2 low back, 3 major abdominal, 5 left ankle, bilateral carpal tunnel, and a bunch of minor surgeries. I have nerve damage in both hands. I need more neck & back surgeries, right hip needs to be replaced, and my left ankle needs a complete reconstructive surgery. It take a toll mentally when I see people working hard knowing I can no longer do that, but I’m still alive and I can still play my drums. I just have to be smart and not push it.

Just my opinion here as a former first responder who dealt with the highways often but I understand stopping short of the scene in order to assess where to place trucks etc . But parking that far away seemed to put u in an unsafe position as you were walking along the highway a good distance with traffic moving past at a good pace
@andrep8287 Жыл бұрын
@ Big Duke....the only closer location would have been on the bridge, and that is a no-go because the practically non-existing shoulder. Stopping past the bridge would have forced Ron to use part of lane 1 in order to pull-away around the cop-car, an unsafe move....thus, yes, he had to walk along the highway further then I'm sure he would have preferred, but in anticipation of his "next move", was the best choice.

What a mess Ron. All I can really say is it's a MESS! You all got the job done safely & as effectively as you could given the situation. I have to agree with Dalton about just dropping the truck at the scrap yard lol as you said Ron you have to laugh. Glad the driver wasn't REALLY seriously injured in could have been MUCH MUCH worse! You have a good crew and safety is #1 in your book. With that sir I say God bless & ya 'all be careful out there. Thank you for what you do and all these great videos

Great job to Ron and crew!!! I thought the truck was going to roll pulling it up. Glad the driver was ok. Really lucky!!!
@trainguy1017 Жыл бұрын
That the driver survived that wreck is a miracle. He'll likely have some back and neck issues after that kind of impact. Always good to hear that a driver survived. Keep up the excellent work. You've surrounded yourself with a good, smart, hard working team.

WOW! In my 30 years OTR, I've seen a lot of death and destruction but, this is one of, if not THE worst I've seen in quite a while. It doesn't even look like there are many usable parts to salvage from this one. For the driver to only have minor injuries is a testament to how much safer vehicles have become, as well as the fact that someone was watching over him or her that day! I remember when the Jaws of Life was a huge hydraulic tool that had a separate gas power unit to run it. Now, they're compact and battery powered...amazing! I got a good chuckle when the firefighter said "we don't want to damage anything! As always, be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment!

If i ever move to near where Ron's shop is. I honestly would put an application in, if accepted, I'd love working for him. He's such a well composed gentlemen. Never seems to lose his cool with his team, Calling them employees would be an insult, this man, has his team so connected to one another, that, they work so fluidly in stressful situations. Damn good man right there.

Good to hear that the driver only had relatively minor injuries seeing the damage of the truck. I think most of the viewers of this channel know that if there was a fatality, Ron would not have posted this video

That driver DEFINITELY had an angel in the cab with him. Glad driver made it out alive. If he had a passenger, I don’t think they would’ve been so lucky
