Close Call

[ghurty]

Look at the first picture below and you can see where this guy broke through the guard rail and left the road, traveling from right to left. He flipped across the end of the culvert and landed on the left side of it.

Look at the second picture and you can see how lucky he was.

Wow..definitely a close call!

I, uh, think that one can definitely qualify as a "oholy itshay" moment! WOW.

Lucky to be alive, that one.

Is it just my old eyes or are the Firefighters on the cliffside not even tied on??

:shock:

Seems a little reckless if their not, you can't help your patient if your dead at the bottom of a shear drop.

Peace,

WOAH.

Why is the guard rail broken up ahead on the road? Was that from a different incident? Or how did he end up where he is facing toward the guard rail?
