Thanks Jon for asking.Yes on 401 hwy. Lucky no passenger in Cadi. Cement wall to
the left , nowhere to go . The trailer structure crushed into the car shattering
the windows and pushing in the structure and the wheels were like grinders
taking out and stripping the whole right side front to back. It was hit and run
with the trucker not stopping. I followed him on the highway as my the cadi
wheels were still turning. Called 911 police and gave all visible details they
asked for paint scheme , company name, truck #, trailor plate. I got infront of
him and read tractor plate in mirror to 911 operator. Police operator told me to
stop on side of highway and they would catch the trucker. Insurance wrote off my
5,000lb Cadi Fleetwood Brougham. If I was in a small car I would be dead.God was
with me, and my body was sore from seat belts. Similar feeling to riding with
Tom off-road at DML HQ :-)

Jim , 91 Dak Spt 4x4, 318LA 

Yikes Jim.  I'm glad you were not hurt. That poor caddy had been through a lot.
