I-10 Accident

[CandyA$$]

Oh that is terrible, I do not like to hear about these kind of things.
Hope all recover.

We were about 2 miles behind the crash. It was hard to tell who was involved. I saw a old lady on the ground with a couple people around her and the guy and girl around their dog on about 30 feet away from the old lady. I was looking for a second car but never saw anything. The lifted "Brand New" chevy truck looked like it had rolled over and the trailer with the sandrail in it was totaled. It was hard to tell but the sandrail looked ok. The truck broke the pass side front wheel off and was laying under the a-arm. Looked like a real mess.

My neighbor told me the trailer started to fishtail and thats when everything went bad plus the rain made things worse.As far as I know he diden't hit anyone thank god.

Not sure if we are talking about the same accident
but my neighbor told me this morning that his dad was driving his truck
truck with an enclosed 26 trailer with his sand rail in it.They went over the side on the 10 coming down the grade into Indio.His dad was driving and his grandmother was in the passanger seat. both are lucky to be alive!!!
grandma has a broken neck but should recover with no problems.The truck and trailer a history not sure about the sand rail.
Yup, thats the one! Tell him his Granma is a trooper! Her name is Helen by the way and a nurse on the scene and myself treated her multiple cuts and bruises and stabilized what looked like a possible fractured leg or knee. Her son, Gary had a pretty fancy gash on the shoulder but was walking around and tending to his mom best he could.
I still have not heard back from them, so I am surprised to hear about the broken neck. I was bummed to see that someone had lifter her out of the truck before we got there. DONT EVER MOVE SOMEONE in that situation unless you think the vehicle will start on fire or there is other immenent danger to leaving them in there.
I guess the wind caught him off guard and swung him around and then over, the trailer was trashed, the rail upside down and leaking fuel and the truck landed right side up after rolling. They are very lucky, and smart, cause they had thier seatbelts on. that is what definately saved them.
we met up with his brother and handed the dog and cell phone over...

Note to self...don't let midlife Advantage follow behind me.
Thats funny shite right there, but we had a scary day! I hope all involved in the two accidents we stopped at are OK and recover quickly. I felt very bad for those involved, it had me thinking all the way home about how we take 80MPH across the desert for granted...

Tim, we came upon the accident as well....and what a mess. You are a good guy for jumping in and being willing to help....had a great weekend hanging with you....

My neighbor saw that too, along with a new BMW rollover on Rice Road (everybody ok).
The BMW rollover kinda made me mad. this guy passed us doing probably 95, waving at the long line of cars doing a safer speed for the conditions. Then 20minuts later we pull up on him and his family all screaming and crying. They were all ok, thank God, but what did he think would happen at that speed, through a wash dip, full of water and rubble, while passing? :boxingguy

You too brutha, we had a ball. Thanks, I think most everyone on here would stop and help in that situation. and when you can see that someone else has already stopped and giving aid, its best to keep moving. The CHP kinda chased us off as soon as they arrived, it was crowded, so we knew someone had to get the dog outta there.
