I know this has nothing to do with tractors, but as some of you may know I drive an auto parts delievery truck at night for a Bumper to Bumper D C. About 12:35 AM I was at a stop light in Richland ,Mo. when it changed I started to turn left on Mo.hwy 7 to 7 and hwy 133. About the middle of the intersection I thought that car is not going to stop he broadsided me just behind the fuel tank and totaled the battery box and batterys. Then he started backing up tried to come down the st. didn't work so backed up again went over to the sidewalk around a sign hit a fire hyd. did not break it off, but moved it about 6 inches backed up again almost hit the Baptist Church went across the church yard. and left. I call *55 for SHP they called Richland Police I get my Co. issued throw away camera out flash wouldn't work. Cop comes he calls the Chief who calls the young lady that just got off duty at midnight. Cop takes Pictures his don't take so he has fire dept take pictures. Chief goes looking for car finds 5 guys trying to hide a picup with front bashed in said well I am looking for a car with front bashed, left and called Sheriff of that Co., becaused some one had crashed into the fire station in next town Stoutland, Mo. it was them. Now back to us The NAPA Delivery truck pulls up talks to me a few a goes on in a few min calls me a said Jim this silver car pulled out of a side road right in front of me I have called SHP and gave them Lic# I am trying to keep up with , but they are winning. Richland Cop comes over says they have him at St. Roberts exit. later comes back and says it wasn't him just another drunk. Cops tape off church yard as crime seine. Wrecker comes and hooks up my truck and we start to Springfield 1 1/2hr away 20 mins. out of Springfield he RUNS OUT OF FUEL can you believe this. He find a couple of small containers and a hose it his wrecker gets enought fuel out of my truck to go seven more miles to truck stop, yes he payes me for it. Then of course SOP I meet my boss at clinc to take drug screen then filled out accdient report. Boss says I will guess it will be Thursday before you are cleared to drive, Then call later and said I was cleared to drive , take night off, I ask if he had heard from Richland and he said only that the car was stolen. I am 62 years old and have never had this much excitment in one night. I can make this legal the Richland Cop was telling me about driving his Dads IHC 100 when he was a boy.
