I only drive a 2010 F450 loaded with welding equipment and have never even come close to a ditch. But I was severally rear ended in 2008 buy some dumba**. There are to many bad driver's with a licence out there that is for sure.

Well good thing the boiler wasn't up to pressure

I went past this on my way to Brooks I can't believe no one was seriously hurt it looked alot worse in person.

Wow glad everyone was mostly ok.

Like someone mentioned there isnt exactly much to cubes, but... the truck that hit yours looks mangled. Wow. Usually they dont even take a dent. That does look like more than 25km/h difference but who knows.

From seeing accidents in my career with the Fire Dept. I would say possibly 60 MPH with that amount of damage.

Thank god no one seriously hurt..

could be about right foe speed, depends on how heavy he was and if his brakes helped at all.

whats that yellow tank in the back og the truck? looks like a good shell for a smoker

The "yellow tank" is a boiler. And according to the police the load wasn't heavy,they didn't say much but it sounded like a back haul of 2 pallets.

hmm na a boiler isn't to good for a smoker.. to much insulation to clean up

the truck its self with the trailer.. lot of inurtia there, I could see that kinda dammage from 60ish K but who knows.. I got rearended by a blazer when I was driving my mustang in the 80's I was slowing down to about 35K comming up to my turn and he hit me hard enough to speed me back up to 110 and break the back off my seat. it is amazing the amount of dammage there is in some accidents at a relitivly slow speed.
