Nikki, wishing you a speedy healing for you.

Awful news. I hope you get better soon. 20 mph and a totaled truck? Sharing your story is going to save a lot of us by reminding us how heavy this thing is.

Wish you a speedy recovery.

Rest up and get well!

Thanks. Most of the damage came from the guy rope (high tensile strength) and the truck disagreeing…

Glad you were ok and the truck kept you safe. Heal up and best of luck finding your next vehicle! Thanks for sharing.

Been busy lately so I hadn't seen your prior video yet, randomly came across your short last night I was like whaaaat? Hope you get better soon.

Oh my God, I'm sorry that happened to you and your truck! Hopefully you make a quick recovery! Are you planning to replace it with another Lightning?

Short post as I’m recovering but holy heck am I lucky to be alive.

I hit some ice underneath fresh snowpack on a gravel road yesterday at 20 mph going down a hill. The truck couldn’t stop and while I was able to move it slightly toward the direction I wanted to go in, the truck said no.

I hit a guy line for a power pole that then filleted the passenger side. It then pulled the line on top of the truck, which smashed the roof and rear window while falling to the ground.

I survived… somehow. I have a bad back and stuff muscles and although no airbags went off, I may have broken a bone in my hand (pending orthopedic ref).

The truck is written off. Even with good winter tires the ice was too much.

Now I need to find a replacement.

Oh and always wear a seatbelt!

oh I am so sorry! I am glad you are okay, I can't imagine how scary that was.

Good to see the truck did its job and protect you. Hope you feel better.

Glad to hear you're okay. That's what matters most.

At least it will be a lot easier to get a replacement these days.

 

[Stang68]

Glad you're ok! That's the most important thing.

So sorry!

Hope your hand is not major, and you will be out "wheeling" one of your vehicles soon.

If you can, let us know how the insurance claim process / replacement process goes. If you have the "replacement" clause or not, for example.

Good luck, get better soon.

I hope you are feeling better Niki . on the bright side you wont have to wait 18 months for a replacement and it will be less expensive.
