Default A Dang Cryin' Shame!

Got this email in my .mil inbox the other day.

The Coast Guard Aids to Navigation Team Saugerties in NY was driving the GV down the highway in the fast lane when somebody on a cell phone in the slow lane veered over into them. I guess there wasn't much he could do...He got in the ditch in the middle and rolled it.

Luckily...and surprisingly, nobody was hurt.

I think three. Aside from minor cuts and bruises...nodody hurt....except the Super Duty. Kind of makes me think about a roll bar!

A full cage... LOL.

But honestly I have seen these things go over with minimal damage, they must have been bookin, or the center was a deep valley.

don't they say, if some one, or something pulls in fron't of you, if you can't stop you're better off hitting it? instead of swerving?
