usabodyguard Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 My friend Bobby from bobby ore motorsports and called me today and told me this story that happened last night... i dont know all of the details but it is sad... Bobby said he was driving towards detroit last night going through Kansas and along side of him came a pickup (ford) loaded down with a lot of stuff along with pulling a trailer that was way overloaded... doing about 85mph+ and once the truck passed bobby, about a minute or two after he lost sight of him, he came apon the second worst accident of his life, remember Bobby trains law enforcement and stunt drivers around the world, he has seen the worst of the worst... side note, bobby was the stunt corrdinator on the dukes of hazzard last year... did the stunts on the whole movie.. anyways... apparently the truck lost control and had crossed the center divider and went airborne onto oncoming traffic... so high in fact when he hit the oncoming SUV it took the entire top off of the SUV along with the top of the drivers head along with it.... and the rest of the 5 passengers were ejected from the vehicle and consequently a the driver, a mom and her son were killed... Bobby is a first responder and he stopped to help... he was in disbelief... i was stunned when i heard all of the details, which i not tell in respect to the family. just thought i'd share this so we can all give a moment of prayer/thoughts to their families...

brobradh77 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 of course he survived... walked away from the crash with minor cuts and bruises.... I figured as much. Thats the way it always happens the drunk always walks away after killing a family and the idiots do as well.
Fireman31 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 You guys wouldn't believe some of the stuff that happens out there, I have seen some horrific sh*t.....
oscareltemblo Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 That's ****ed up wonce my uncle saw a suv roll over and one of the passenger's a young girl got trapped and died under the suv my uncle and a few other were trying to tilt it back over but they couldn't... very sad...
KJT13 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 i just started eating some leftover pizza before i as i started to read this and now i'm not so sure i can. WTF?!?!?! that is a horrible story. not even a story... im guessing an overloaded van with a trailer was a band. i managed a local band. never went state to state, but i can see where this could happen. sad for the innocent victims that were involved.
usabodyguard Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Posted July 11, 2007 no it was a truck with some type of open trailer behind it... just one guy... sorry about the sad post... just thought they could use some positive thoughts... i am a firm believer in KARMA... big time.
KJT13 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 my mistake. still a horrible and highly unfortunate crash.
[email protected] Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 That is a horrible event.... my thought and prayers are with the family.... -Lance
shreveportSS Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 I pound the roads to the tune of about 80,000 miles a year for the past 7 years, and the stupidity out there is fenominal. I have seen many accidents happen right in front of me. Nothing tears up the human body quite like an automobile.
CoolBlueSS Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 God Be With The Family It's sad when people die from someone elses stupidity or lack of good judgement.
dcairns Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 Sometimes I think there should be an special license and extra exam required to tow anything. It is a tricky business and you need to know some things to do it safely. Most trailer tires are only speed rated to 65-70 mph, and tend to fall apart if used at speeds in excess of their rating. Of course, nothing will stop an idiot.
