Default Poor Diesel....

Where I work I get to see some unfortunate wrecks. Here's a Duramax that hit guardrail on a 2 lane road at about 2 or 3 in the morning. The cab was about 25 feet from the frame and the motor and tranny and transfer case were out too. Surprisingly enough, the guy left the scene before anyone got there. What a shameful waste.

OUCH! On a lighter note, might as well install studs now that the cab is off.

If he left that quickly I'd suspect he was drunk?
I didn't think the cab was supposed to seperate that easily from the frame though? Is that more dangerous or less dangerous?
