...but the day before, when we were working on the IX, a truck went completely out of control, at an undetermined speed, and crashed in my yard - causing massive damage - but no one was injured, which is astonishing.
Here's a quick run down of what happened.
The IX owner, his brother, and I are working on the IX, on the day before it was road ready.
I'm installing a side skirt with the brother, and we hear a noise.... A low rumble off in the distance, but the distance is getting closer; the noise louder.....
I didn't know what to think. At first I thought: thunder...... but it was too long, and soon progressed to sounding like rolling, twisting, metal which turned deafening. I then thought the back roof of my garage collapsed.
The IX owner was the only person to catch the incident visually. When he saw what was happening, a truck was airborne, rolling sideways through the air, at about 30 mph he guessed. IN MY YARD. Not the usual Tuesday. No, Sir. :laugh:
Hooooly. shiiiit.
I'll paint a picture the best I can.
I live at the top of a hill. The speed limit is 30mph.
Here is where he entered my yard. We are in his oncoming path. You can vaguely make out his tire tracks.
At the corner of my property he hit the curb (where the officer is standing), and completely demolished a 10" ornamental cherry tree (you can see the tree deposited between the two larger trees).
...managed to snake his way between the two serious trees and the house. Unbelievable luck. Despite all I'm about to show.
RIP buddy. Good plantin' ya.
