coolblue Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I was driving over to Easton from Reynoldsburg on 270 at lunch today. There was a box truck with a trailer about 1/4 mile ahead of me. I noticed stuff was coming off of his trailer onto 270. A van hit the stuff and it flew up in the air, almost looked like a large piece of paper. I then realized it was aluminum siding. He lost at least 10 pieces, not good. So I was weaving and trying to avoid getting hit with the siding. I had a semi beside me and cars around me. I was using all the lanes and speeding up and slowing down as needed so I wouldn't be beside a car or the semi when they hit the aluminum siding. It wasn't one of those things where you can avoid something by slowing down because the box truck was still driving and still spewing aluminum siding across the freeway. I would eventually have to drive around the stuff.I was trying to think of a way to get around him so he would be behind me. He finally realized he was losing stuff and pulled over. Not fun on a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troyec001 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I was going down 315 last week and out of no where got hit in the knee with something, then the head, then the knee head chest head leg and realized the pickup in front of me had gravel in the open bed.

12oclocker Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 when that stuff happens, PULL OVER to the side of the highway! and wait 5 or 10 minutes. A piece of aluminum flying through the air can chop your head clean off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangBruhY Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 A while back, something fell out of a truck & hit me. It was small, but knocked the shit out of me. It was the size of a golf ball. I don't know what the hell it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
