That Dart--it's just another chunk of iron & steel,, It will make some nice hondas
someday.

And here is a overload--a overload in ones skivvies as you see it headed your way.
This has happened before not new. A semi took one in the cab about 1.5 years ago
by Starkey exit I84 Ore. Killed that guy.

Dang. He must have been stopped the truck does not look wrecked.
My neighbor had a slow speed version of that. He was waiting to get on Meridian in his 60's Ford pickup. A dump and pup rolls by and here comes one of the wheels, and he was trapped. Car behind him truck in front of him. Took it right in the door but really slow. So slow he said it was like watching the proverbial train wreck.

At least he has the safety jack down close to catch it when something goes wrong.

Was parked talking with a neighbor when a wheel came off a boat trailer. Came bouncing down the road and took a lucky hop just clearing my hood. No damage other to underwear.

A lot of that was probably engineering and other related studies

A run out area X amount long X amount deep with pea gravel is pretty cheap.

 

[cfherrman]

Hard to pay kickbacks like that

 

[Truck Shop]

It's all in the name of overthinking.

Not if the govt has to buy premium land to do it.

 

[skyking1]

yes, the gravel. Maybe a fence to contain the blast of gravel at the beginning. It is pretty dramatic. It's all over in the first 80' or so, you can see that on the ramps we drive by. They are regraded and smoothed out, but much farther than 120' or so it is all weeds.
It's hard to surf on Pea gravel.
