Talk about a bad day

It wasn't a bad day for us. We made it up to Cincinnati without any major hiccups other than having to sit in traffic for a while.

But the same couldn't be said for this other couple that we saw yesterday. As we were coming through Knoxville, traffic suddenly came to a stop. And when I say came to a stop, I mean I got out of the car and walked around and talked to random people who were also sitting stopped on I-75. After a while, traffic finally got moving again. It seems as though a man was driving a brand new Chevy Silverado pulling a rather nice camper and had lost control and flipped on it's side. Other than some broken glass, both the trailer and the truck were in not too bad of shape. They got both flipped back over and had each hooked up to a wrecker to take them to check them out when "it" happened. It seems as though the tow truck driver forgot to turn the wheels on the truck when he took off right in front of us. The trailer was hooked up to another wrecker about a couple of hundred yards ahead. He got up to about 35- 40 miles an hour before the truck made a turn directly into the rear of the trailer as it sat still on the side of the road. He pretty much ripped the whole back off the trailer and caved in the whole rear of the truck as well. It was funny watching the two Highway Patrolmen look and see it take place. They both took off walking towards the guy to investigate the second accident involving the same vehicle within 200 yards of the first.
The man who had wrecked the truck the first time seemed a bit miffed that they had finished his truck and trailer off. Talk about a bad day.
