This really sucks. I got rear-ended again this morning and this time
ended up in the hospital with a slight concussion. How you ask? Well, I
just finished moving another accident from out of the freeway lanes, and
I was PARKED ON THE SHOULDER filling out my paperwork, then "WHAM!" some
dumb lady slams into the back of my tow truck with her Mitsubishi
Galant. No skidding, just crash. Another case of HUTA-itus. She even ran
the on-ramp meter light!! This time, since it was a off-center hit (the
last one was direct rear-end) it pushed my 10,000lb truck forward about
5 feet, causing me to crack my head against the back window, smashing it
out in the process, buckled the bed, bent one of my wheels, popped a
tire, and bent the axle to a point where to drive straight now, I have
to keep the wheel at 2 o'clock. She couldn't open her doors!! This
REALLY sucks!! And once again, thank god I wasn't in the Dak!! I still
love my job, (been doing it for 6+ years) but it's making me
wonder............But when one of the people in the other wreck comes up
and tells me how I saved his life by moving him out of the middle of the
freeway about 2 minutes before I got hit, that makes it worth it to me.
