The youngest son put one of your pickups in the ditch last night going after his wife at work. The truck just has some light damage to the RIGHT front fender and steering linkage. The left side that is in the ditch was not damaged. The ditch was full of snow and it cushioned the truck.
You are looking south out the farm drive way. This is the first time anyone has missed the culvert that we can remember. The lane is 30 feet wide at the top over the culvert. It is not as narrow as it looks. We had rails on it at one time but they where a PIA. It seemed like they made snow drift on the road bad and then they where in the way for wide equipment.
The drive is a straight shot up the hill and out on the county road. The lane was drifted from the West (right side of the picture) He got over too far to the left and roped of the edge of the drive and the deep snow sucked him off the road.
You are looking at the lane after I blew it out this morning. I told him to wait 15-20 minutes last night and I would have it cleared for him to go but he was in a hurry.
I had a local guy with a big boom wrecker come and lift it straight up and out of the ditch. The insurance adjuster is coming out Wed. to look at it.
The bad thing is we just bought this truck in Oct. It is a 1996 1500 diesel with only 54,000 miles on it. The transmission shift valve was bad and the fellow that owned it was afraid that it would cost too much to repair. We did have the transmission rebuild while they had the valve off.
It will be interesting to see what the insurance company will do. The local agent thinks they will total it even thought the damage is just the right fender, tie rod, and hood.
