My Trucking Rollover Accident in Burlington,CO 07/20/2007

Me,my wife and son were traveling south 7 1/2 miles outside of Burlington,CO when a 71 year old woman who didn't speak English turned in front of us with no blinker causing me to almost T-Bone her. I jerked the wheel to the left to avoid her vehicle and barely hit the farm trailer she was pulling with some sort of chemicals in it. All it did to her trailer was put a dinner plate size dent in it. My semi truck rolled and slid 157 on the passenger side totaling the truck. We were hauling large bales of cardboard that I just picked up the day before at walmart going to Lawton,OK to the recycler. I had about 46,000 lbs on. I drove for a owner operator with only 3 trucks. Never again will I work for a owner operator.

What does it matter if the woman in front of you spoke english or not. Jerk. but glad your ok

[DrivingMyLifeAway]

what does it matter? Uh because this is america u idiot. In a case just as this I went to her and tried to see if she was ok and all I got was a bunch of bullshit out of her mouth. Keep ur mouth shut unless u got something decent to say u stupid ass.

I've been driving truck for 26 yrs. I have never been put outa service!!! You put this video on here to brag about your accident and place blame on another. Grow up and slow down!!!!

[MrBubbau812]

sorry for your wreck but no it didn't all happen because she didn't speak english and turned in front of you...that was just part of it...the english had nothing to do with it...the main part was you over reacted...i'm glad you and your family are ok...but...what did the o/o have to do with it? you were the driver...again i'm sorry it happened and i can't say i wouldn't have made the same mistake...hopefully we'll all learn from it

[Manongjojo]

#1 mistake you made was taking your truck off the road for some stupid old bitch. She is not worth killing yourself or your family. Aint nobody worth that I dont care who is in the other vehicle.

[mike198748]

@DrivingMyLifeAway here here! tanman its cause of idiots like you why our language not being learned is accepted,

[mike198748]

@tanman210 because this is america, the primary language is ENGLISH! other countries arent going to change their language for us why should we?
