I stopped on the side of I-10 after we watched a pickup just ahead of us depart the road at full speed, cross the ditch and head into the woods.

Ran down there and into the woods and came up on the truck. It was split in half around a tree just like that photo. As I approached with my flashlight, the driver stepped out of the truck (there was no door and he literally just stepped out onto the ground from the seat) and walked past me back towards the road. Dude was a little bloodied up but not seriously injured. He was also blitzed drunk. LSP showed up a few minutes later and hooked him up.

Surreal experience.

The pics are what caught my attention.

I figured a medical emergency since it doesn't look like he slowed down.

Gordon is going to sue the state for building the pillar there.

That’s not the way you want to meet a solid pillar of the community.
