Built Ford Tough...
For all of the guys out there who love pics of wrecks, I walked away from this with only a few stitches. Miracles do happen and I have the pictures to prove it.
I believe in Ford Trucks. They know how to make one safe. I hit a bridge pier going somewhere around 50 mph. I'm not sure how fast, I was focusing on avoiding as much injury as possible. I didn't have a chance to check the speedometer as I went over the embankment.
I couldn't pass up this picture. Apparently a few calls were made. I can't imagine why. I walked away with a few stitches and bruises. Well actually carried away by the paramedics. I don't think they appreciated the 150' climb up the embankment but they took great care of me. In 3 weeks we are going to be celebrating everyday heroes. These guys are definitely my heroes.
If you look real close, the wheel is at about a 90 degree angle from where it should be. When the guys got my stuff out of the truck, my phone had flown into pieces. The battery was stuck in the sun visor and the phone and battery compartment were somewhere else. When they put it together and turned it on, it worked like nothing had happened. I love Blackberry's. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm out to buy a Ford F-350...definitely "Built Ford Tough".
Glad you & of course the blackberry!!! are ok... That had to be reallllly freaky...Guess "they" DO make some thing like they used to....That makes me feel good driving the Ford Sports Trac! And you can't check outta this planet yet, you gotta finish our Epic series & keep leading us into our "Journey" in Chattanooga!!! :-D

Just because you're teaching about living an epic life, does not mean you can go and do your own stunts!

Actually, if I had the opportunity for a stunt double, I definitely would have taken it!
