Wrecks of my life

My first wreck was when I was delivering pizzas on my first job. I pulled out in front of a car that clipped the bumper of mom's old Chevy truck.

I ran into a parked car in Batesville while I was drunk off Budweiser and Jim Bean. The only time I've ever blacked out from alcohol.

I was going to pay a lady $1600 for some chocolate labs I had bought and it had snowed and as I was going up a hill I lost traction and slid into a truck.

I was in Queens New York on the expressway trying to make an exit in rush hour traffic. A little asian man wouldn't let me in the lane to get off the expressway. I guess he thought I got to close so he gunned his car and as he passed in front of me he clipped my bumper on the semi I was driving. He spun around the front of my truck and hit a car and van on my left side.

I was in a semi in Oklahoma coming out of Missiouri and it had iced over and just before I got to the toll booth a lady in a Firebird lost control and hit my wheels and forced me into the dividing wall.

I was coming into Dallas from Ft Worth bobtailing a Kenworth and did a half donut into the guard rail.

I was coming into Dallas from Ft Worth with an empty trailer that bounced off the edge of the sidewalk (it was raining) and slid into a girls door.

I was in Texas having just woken up and getting my day started. It had snowed and that nasty road salt was everywhere. I leaned over to wash my windows (the washer was in the center of the dash on the right). When I looked up there was a sign and the end of a concrete divider. I hit that sucker head on at 60 mph. I straddled my semi with a trailer load of a/c's on that dividing wall knocking every axle I had loose. I ended up with a broken arm and a busted head.
The truck burned to the ground.

I was in Georgia in a semi getting a load and came to an intersection and had the legal right of way. A lady drove to close not reading the *give truck room to turn sign*. My trailer wheels went across her hood to the edge of her windshield.

I was taking my kids to church from Warm Springs to our new church in Pocahontas the very first time. A drunk came over the hill in our lane. It was either hit the ditch or hit a truck head on with a van load of kids. My tires began skidding on the grass headed straight for a pole. I stuck my arm out to keep the boys behind me from hitting the dash/windshield just before we hit the post. Good thing cause one boy was in the air already.

Accidents will happen but the key to getting thru them is to stay calm and don't over react.
