One Lucky SOB!!!
This pick up came from the right side of the pic, crashed through the retaining wall, did some sort of flip/twist when it jumped the drainage ditch and landed facing the opposite direction on the wrong side of the guardrail!!! If you look closely, you can see that it is on the edge of drop-off!!!









Now, pull the camera back just a bit,,, and see how lucky this guy really was!! That's one heck of a drop-off!!! Good thing he wasn't driving faster than his Guardian Angel could fly!!!

Don't know where these were taken from. I received them from a friend, and she didn't say. Wherever they were, he sure was lucky!!
