Post R.I.P.
Rest in peace my truck. A tractor trailer ran a red light two days ago and smoked me and my truck. I was pulling my commercial fishing boat home from the river when I got blasted. I spent two days in the hospital from my injuries. Got home last night. Boy am I banged up. My boat and trailer got thumped too.

Post Re: R.I.P.
Thanks for the kind words. My arm got separated from my shoulder, I was bleeding out my left ear and my left eye was ruptured. I am bruised from head to toe.
I was almost through the intersection when he hit me. If you look at the picture you will see a white dodge truck in the background going north. That's what I was doing. The semi hit me and I got wedged under the trailer. He dragged me to my final resting position. My truck caused his trailer to flip over. His trailer hit several vehicles in the westbound left turn lane. There was six vehicles totaled by him. All he had was a flat tire from when his vehicle was on top of my motor hopping up and down.
The good news was there was a few witnesses that seen him run the red light and hit me and the others. He was also seen running red lights before he ran the one that got me.
I can say I was very happy to be able to get out of my truck on my own two feet.
