Not a good way to start the day

Posted by Ultradog MN on February 08, 2010 at 10:27:27 from (70.59.81.62):

Coming in to work from the GF's house this morning. East bound on I 94 just east of Rogers MN.
Traffic doing about 30 mph due to snow and icy roads. Moron in front of me decides to change lanes then thinks better of it and hits the brakes. I backed off the gas and instantly lost traction. Totally out of control! Missed one car and nicked another as I careened towards the ditch.
Snow banks are real high and almost solid ice.
Hit the bank at an angle and the pickup turned over on it's top. Uggh!
Had to crawl out of the broken driver's window.
Both of my truck boxes emptied their contents. Tools everywhere buried in the snow.
Moron who caused it never stopped of course.
I'd hate to be the highway mowing tractor next few years. Lost about 15 lbs of nails and screws scattered in the snow.
Cop was a total jerk. Smart mouth and a bully. (as usual) Wrote me a ticket for failure to use due caution. I will fight it.
06 Chevy 4x4 3/4 ton. Dunno if it's totaled or not yet.
Called my ins. agent and he had seen it on tv news. He told me he hoped it wasn't one of his customers. Was sorry to disappoint him...
Got a stiff neck and a couple of cuts from broken glass. Little dog was with me and wasn't too happy about the ride but we both walked away ok.
In a way I hope it's totaled - who wants a wrecked/fixed truck.
In a way I hope they fix it - can't afford another one right now.
Hadn't even had breakfast yet. But just got home and it's after noon already.
I'm hungry.
Hope you all have a better day.
Jerry
