My buddy was careflighted out (costs $5,000 for the trip by the way) and was only in the hospital for like 2 days. The sucky thing about it was that I know a guy through my church who is a part time EMT and he was actually called to the scene, he went immediately back to the church and got a group of people to help pray, he called me, and then I got to break the news to his mother because she wasn't even informed yet (a good 3-5 hourse later). Then when I left to go visit I saw a trooper pull onto his street but they were long gone!

Saw one where a semi driver had fallen asleep and hit a concrete divider. The truck went airborne and rotated, landing on its side on a little Miata. A guy and his girlfriend were in the car, he had pushed her down and covered her as best he could. He died from the semi side mirror impaling him, she lived but it took a while to get her out. I was a few cars behind the Miata and saw the whole thing on my way to work, I was the only Law Enforcement or Military around for 30 minutes until the police arrived, so everyone was asking me what to do, I was still in shock from watching it.

I've seen a few nasty ones, too. Usually just the aftermath, though. The worst I've ever seen I think was a car-b-q...ever seen one of those? Traffic backed up for miles and miles and some kind of vehicle in flames. Heard the people got out but forgot to take their baby out of the car seat before the car was engulfed flames, how terrible is that? If something like that happened I tell you I'd die trying to get my baby out of the car!
Another one we had on I-40 was a truck dumped over a trailer full of cows on the way to the slaughterhouse. Those cows got slaughtered that day, I'll tell ya that. What a disgusting mess that was!

Haha, NO. That's an engine from outside of Harrisburg. You can see the front corner of our squad [F-250] in the picture and our rescue behind the van. If you look at the upper northbound fly-over, you can see the 18-wheeler where the log originally came from.

She said it was the most awkward way she had met anybody. Never went really far with her. She was a perfect 10 though. Great personality ...heh... a quiet firecracker.

Justin, is that at the I-81/322 interchange in Harrisburg? Looks kinda like it... When did that happen?

I used to work right down from there (across from the post office near the Farm Show Complex)... That construction was always a pain to drive in...

Haha. It's a small world. Traffic anywhere on 83 near the city in the mornings is a pain. It's rediculous.

When I came up to Lancaster for college from southern NJ, the running joke was that Route 30 was under construction. It seems like PA is constantly fixing their roads...and out-of-state people say circles in NJ are confusing...
