http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2013/09/12/dublin-i270-crash-near-sawmill-road-dumptruck-car.html I came across this accident scene during my morning commute, arriving before the emergency services. I have a pretty beefy medical kit and fire extinguisher in my trunk, so I made my way up to the front and started checking on people. There were about 5 witnesses/stranded drivers milling about and they pointed me at the driver of a massive dump truck who was lying on the floor behind his truck. I rushed over to check on him and found him to be confused. He was complaining of being light-headed but checked out to have no injuries except for an apparently broken finger. I gave a passerby my golf umbrella to keep the driver dry and told him I'd back back for his finger after checking on everyone else. I asked the people milling around if anyone else needed any medical assistance and they pointed me to the front of a truck. One woman complained of a sore neck, but she was walking around chatting with people so I knew she could wait for EMS. I asked again, anyone else need medical help? Someone told me to go to the space between the truck and the wall. As I walked around the corner I found an unrecognizably crushed car. The rear seats were pressed up into the front seat. Any rear-seat passenger would have been killed without a doubt. The floor of the trunk & spare wheel well were crushed upwards and now stood vertically, less than a foot from the driver's head. The driver's door was open and man was talking with the driver. I saw medical gloves on him and saw he was wearing an EMS t-shirt. He saw me and I told him, "she's all yours.." I asked him if he needed any medical supplies and he said she was ok, just trapped. The FD was en route with jaws of life. We divvied up the patients and I went back to the truck driver. The truck driver was standing and said he was feeling fine, just nervous (he just rear-ended a car hard enough to reduce it's length by 50% - he needs to be nervous) So I went back to help support the more injured driver. I stayed out of the EMS guy's way, but had to mention that the engine was still running and should be tuned off due to fire/fume hazard. The driver and EMS guy both said they hadn't noticed it was still on. Remembering a story my sister-in law (traffic cop) told me about a while back where an uninjured (but trapped) driver burned to death when the car caught fire before FD could get there, I grabbed the big fire extinguisher I keep in my trunk and set is within reach and just milled around checking for signs of smoke or fuel leaks. I heard the fire trucks arriving and realized they couldn't get through due to debris in the emergency lane, so I had to quickly move it - a bumper, fender/wing, headlights and other stuff. The fire truck got through, so I grabbed my medical kit and fire extinguisher and prepared to leave. I got my leave from an officer and headed out. The freeway was still blocked 30 minutes later, but is open again now. Took them an hour to open it again. Have to say when I walked around the corner of the truck and saw the car smashed down to the size of a Smart Car I was prepared to see a body. The only thing better than seeing the off-duty EMS guy already there was seeing that the lady had no major injuries - just cuts on her hands (her steering wheel was touching the windshield) and freaked out by the fact she was trapped - but the EMS guy calmed her down and I made sure I was ready to try to deal with any fire that might have started.

I lock mine to the side of my bike whille on the freeway, Not only does it make me look really kool to the womanz but it protects my bike incase of a slide!

How does this tie into manbearpig

......it was blowing 20 steady with gusts to 30. The solid cement lane was closed, so across on the grate we went. Thought Mrs. Tonik was going to die. She is pretty fearless on the bike, she had been over 60 pm the Dragon....but bridges and water are to r much for her. We got to the toll booth on the far side and the lady said that will be 4 dollars. From the back of the bike I hear....FOUR DOLLARS? YOUR BRIDGE TRIED TO KILL ME, HE AIN'T PAYING YOU SHIT! Tomorrow, the falls and painted rocks and along the north side up to Houghton.

Because jbot started it ...

That section of 270 has always been a suckfest of potential crashes. I used to commute that area for 5+years during rush hour, and that kind of lane changing is common.

Of to Hell I go

How about all the money is sent to the federal government. Then they can line their own pockets and distribute the rest to their powerless subjects??

Talked to my lawyer and I am going to file for a motion to modify visitation. She claimed that if the police are involved and my daughter informs them that she feels unsafe then they cant force her to go.....sooo ill keep people posted later today.

Not your type Gump, she's too old sent via GS3

Thanks hellmutt. So like I thought my ex was here to meet me after school to pick up my daughter. So after she came waddling over to me like she had poo in her jeans I calimly said just call the police.. They showed up we plead are case and told me that it was a civil matter and they were not going to get involved. I am surely in comtempt but my kids safety is first. so my kiddos are with me for this weekend.

Since you have excuses for everything else... Stay off the freeway?

Exactly. That's where lane sharing comes in. If you are accustomed to filtering it is not really out of the ordinary to slip out of a situation like this. Most motorcycles are only occupy about 2 feet of the width of the lane. An average minivan is 6 1/2 feet wide. Standard lane width is 12 feet. I motorcycle commute 160 miles a week, rush hour, freeway, Cleveland so I've got a little 1st hand experience with this type of situation. No swatting at cars necessary.

Next time twist the throttle, Mr. Drama Queen.

This forum has lost members of the Muslim faith because of exactly what you people are saying. Pinning terrorism on an entire religion is idiotic. All the Muslims I know are nice, peaceful, respectable people who look at the wahadi extremists with the same disdain as we do.

No those I had. It was my wallet. Hell I had a female look for the wallet and she couldn't find it.

Double post fail

Whatever you do, do with the blessing of your attorney. The stakes are too high.

Who the fuck would put their helmet on a sticky, nasty theater floor in the first place? Mine would be in the seat next to me.

Stick with what your attorney says, and don't believe what you read on the Internet. None of us are covered by malpractice insurance if we give you an incorrect answer. Your attorney is.

For sure ! I'll do a round of carts !

Signed up for Saturday,Don't really feel like getting knee capped !!!

Wimps, try living at UC

Lol I can't wait to be in the 10% and look down upon the rest of you and use all the money I save in taxes to wipe my ass with FWIW the owner and CEO of my company makes about 5x more than I do and is taxed 8.5x more than I am. That's only his personal income too, doesn't even begin to describe the amount of taxes incurred because of the company.

I will be back on 2 wheels at the end of the month after I move to Saipan!!!! I got another flying job and this time it is out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean island hoping along the Northern Mariana Islands. As soon as my season ends here in Maine I will be back in Ohio for a week then hoping on a plane to move out there. My buddy is out there right now and moving back mid October at which point I will be buying his scooter off of him. I'm a little nervous making such a huge move but the idea of 70-80 and sunny every day makes it a little less scary.

Of course. I have a "take only pictures, leave only footprints" policy when traveling. I have been watching a ton of history channel docs on youtube about the islands. I might audit a history class on the islands they offer at the local college.

Glad I'm not going back there in the forseable future.

If you really think that te actions of al Queda can and should be attributed to every Muslim in the world, then you've shown your own stupidity in a truly heroic manner.

Man Cox better get his ace back to work after his long vacation and get on with catching these fools. WTF man, hate people like this.

Sorry but I'm gonna have to call a douche move on your part. At 2 sec you start your lane change...she has turn signal on...at 3 seconds your in the other lane....at 4 seconds she is coming over. As fast as that happened you were probably still in the other lane when she did a mirror check. You should have read that turn signal better. You should know by now if someone does use a turn signal it does not mean let me over. It means look out I'm coming over. If she would not have been using her signal you may have a legal bitch. Basically you were not in that lane when she did,if she did a mirror check so she thought the coast was clear.

Two down and one to go!

do you even lift, bro?

If you want to fix the polar ice cap melt, slam an asteroid into the Gulf of Mexico. It worked last time.

yes sir now let me stipple your glock.

If it came out that he was texting while driving then yes, I want him fired, criminal charges for involuntary vehicular assault, as well as a civil suit for both him directly and the OSHP. These guys have hanged felonies around "civilian's" necks for making mistakes not half as worse as this, if they can't uphold the standard they enforce then they have no business being on the job. If, however, it came out that he fell asleep, I have infinitely more sympathy and understanding, and for that the victim's bills should be paid, the option for a civil claim is still on the table as is their right, the cop should be off the road for a while, but I see no reason why he should be forced to step down from his job.

I paid postage for tickets, and received them in the mail. No winners though.

speaking of which, now that we got all that silly non-sense cleared up

No more laminate flooring!!! This is a clostet Now its the entrance to my 1st floor bathroom The room has a weird design from how it originally was built.

let us unite, spit together at each other's dicks, and stop arguing about which girl's bike is best.
