Well this would certainly get your attention! A guy driving down the highway, minding his own business in Mississippi had the close call of a lifetime yesterday when a logging truck was involved in an accident and flipped over, sending the whole load flying through the air like a bunch of huge javelins. Once of the logs ran itself right through the windshield and out the side of the man’s Chrysler minivan. Luckily, the man had just dropped his kids off a school. Had they been in the back seat, this story may have had a totally different ending.
We’re glad to report that the driver has a day or two in the hospital but is otherwise OK. If the huge log, which looks to be about the size of a telephone pole had been a few inches one way or the other, he would have been a goner for sure! Pay attention behind the wheel, it is a wild world out there!
Thanks to Joe for the tip!

My wife emailed me some pictures of this wreck- it happened less than 10 miles from my house… thankfully everyone lived!
Thank god everyone survived and he just dropped his kids off.
