    My Dad wrecked his tundra a few days ago. He was lucky enough to walk away with only a broken collar bone and some bruises.
    His dog came out without a scratch.

    He said he flipped six times. I've never seen anyone break a power line in two places like that.

    I'm glad to hear that he will be okay, also that his dog is fine. You can replace a vehicle not a loved one.

    Whoa! That's intense!!! I'm glad he's ok, that could've turned out much worse, from the way those images look.

    Tucker is a big boy, to big for a crate to fit inside the cab. I have posted pictures of him before. He was on a leash that was attached to the truck.20190906_201519.jpg

    On a leash in the bed? From the looks and sound of it, could have been way worse! Someone had pops' and Tuckers back that day!

    No no no, he was in the cab and on a leash. But yes it seems someone was watching out for them.

    Glad everyone made it

    I couldn't imagine that

    Gives me hope when I take my dogs.

    I hit the brake hard the dog doesn't want to go for a ride any more. Dog would bite me after that and I wouldn't blame her

    Yikes, glad everyone is ok. Sure hope the driver he clipped is doing well.

    You gotta keep an eye out for the stop signs and watch for people who don't. Was he distracted or just not paying attention?

    Scary stuff.

    Wow.

    I have seen a lot of distribution power poles taken out by vehicles. This one is impressive though.

    The next item that is taken out is the pad mount residential transformer. I honestly believe that an invisible target to sober people is painted on them from the factory.

    Wow glad to hear your pops and the dog are alright. I blew through a hidden stop sign the other day in an industrial area. I was thanking my stars that a big rig wasn't coming through right then. Sometimes they hide those things behind trees and such. Not really sure why that happens.
