Touchdown! Greaser!
Decided to separate this thread so dial-up folks don't have to put up with the size of these...
Getting back to the road:
Looking back toward the tractor from roughly the same spot:
View from the road:
How we came to rest:
Initial point of impact. I believe the marks that are lighter than the mud came from the fake wood paneling on the car:
Mustard, anyone?
Drive tire got knocked off. Note the scrape on the bottom of the trailer where we went over the end of the concrete wall:
Fuel tank strap loose. We leaked 200 gallons of diesel fuel after the accident:
What a cement wall and some trees will do to the front end of a truck:
Crunch.
Underneath the tractor. Both fuel tanks and both air tanks are hanging loose:
Here's the mess in the interior. As if the carnage outside wasn't bad enough, stuff was raining down on us inside throughout:
Bent landing gear crossbar, complete with some of the grass from the median:
Antilock obviously failed when we were in the left lane. I'm not sure where the controller is located on the tractor, but on the trailer it's just in front of the trailer axles and if these marks came from the trailer there was an electrical issue up front causing it to fail. I'm guessing these marks came from the tractor:
Initial impact with the cement wall:
What's left of my laptop screen:
