Was pulling into road to open gate at Son in Law’s land to hunt yesterday before work
Just as I stopped to pull foward I hear and big boom and at same time a big jolt to my truck.
Guy was going down road and did not see my trailer and hit rear end of sxs trailer and swerved over and hit another truck that had just pulled out of his driveway almost head on. Thankfully that driver apparently swerved toward the ditch and avoided a direct head on collision
Debris scattered down dark road for 200’ and cars still flying down damn road before FD (Center Rock ) got there to block rd
Guy was very apologetic , at first I thought he had destroyed by SXS but it was parts from both vehicles Polaris bed tailgate was loose but apparently all is well with SXS. Can not get SXS off trailer at present time due to tubing bent around rear of it (gonna work on that when I get off work today ) but other than that I think SXS is fine
Main thing is no serious injuries, one guy transported to Anmed due to soreness and very elevated BP
Could have been LOT worse. Good Lord Above was just looking out for everyone and THANKS to Center Rock VFD, guys were on scene very quickly and got road blocked to keep someone else from getting hit
I do think having SXS strapped down kept it from leaving trailer
However kind of “odd” or “ironic” thing about this, day before I hunted before work and the tailgate for trailer came loose. Has 3 pins that you have to line up and is impossible for one person to put back on. I just left it off and strapped SXS down extra good on front. Makes me wonder had that tailgate been on (fairly large and heavy ) would it have been initial contact worse.
All that wood you see in bed was in the road from trailer, deer buggy flew 100’ down road as well.
Needless to say when SCHP was done with me I went and got in deer stand rest of am
