Title: Don't Drive While Sleepy
Post by: cpu on September 21, 2010, 10:15:18 AM

Accident north of Deer Lodge on I-90. The driver was appx 22 year old guy heading east to College. He had left central Washington early in the morning. He fell asleep at the wheel and drifted off the shoulder hitting the end of the section of guard rail.

The guard rail came through the right headlight, engine compartment, firewall, glove box, passenger seat, rear seat and exited out the driver’s side of the rear window. That is 120 linear feet of guard rail that threaded through the suburban.

No passengers and the driver was not injured.

You know I was thinking that exact same thing. :smile:

You all will have to keep an eye on 69DR, if that's what Suburban drivers do.  :bolt:
