Don't Drive @ Sleepy Time

This was one very lucky kid. God was definitely looking out for him.

I assisted at this accident yesterday north of Deer Lodge (Montana) on I-90. The driver was appx 22 year old guy heading east to College. He had left central Washington early in the morning. He fell asleep at the wheel and drifted off the shoulder hitting the end of the section of guard rail.

The guard rail came through the right headlight, engine compartment, firewall, glove box, passenger seat, rear seat and exited out the driver’s side rear window. That is 120 LF (linear feet?) of guard rail that threaded through the suburban.

No passengers and the driver was not injured.

I am sharing this as a reminder to all about NOT driving when you shouldn’t be behind the wheel (drinking, texting, distracted or just plain tired).

I think this line's mostly filler.

It looks like if he'd dozed a tiny bit later, he would have both avoided the end of the rail, and hit a rumble strip that might have woken him up before he even hit the side of the rail.

I was once awoken by those strips when driving during sleepytime. Scary.

This morning I passed an upside-down car at the end of a traffic jam on the Beltway.

It's better to be pissed off than pissed on.

Looks as though the SUV crapped a guardrail.
