This one hit Ernie's House of WhoopAss the other day -- for those who are wondering exactly why it's so scary (despite the huge frikkin' fall), look at the position of the truck and it's orientation, relative to the damaged guardrail.
Yep. It did a 180, jumped the culvert, and then wound up on the precipice. 1 change of underwear for the driver, stat!
Can you imagine being one of the rescue workers having to go in that passenger side?! Wonder if there was a passenger? I'd be like, Hey, sorry you got a ride with such an IDIOT but you're gonna have to wait until we get him out & uh.... lean towards the road, okay?
So, he did a 180 up on the road & went through the guard rail backwards, jumped that drain opening under the road & landed there on that little ledge, right? Is that what you're thinking too? Any idea where that happened?

And the driver and any passengers will be afraid of heights for the rest of their lives, which if course is preferable to being dead if you ask me.
