I'm a truck driver and was headed on 287 northbound in texas. Had a brand new truck. I heard some noises of pieces of something hitting the truck. I knew it was metal but just blew it off as road debris. About 10-15 miles later there was a 10-12 car pile up. The worst thing I've ever seen was a baby seat laying there and the stunned look on everyone's faces. I couldn't stop because there was no room to do so. I could tell it was a very new accident. About 3 miles later was my first steer tire blow ever. I got off the road safely but had a car slow down on my left and just sat next to me so I couldn't make any jarring moves, I had too roll to a stop from 65 mph because this car wouldn't go away. Looking back immediately I knew what was hitting my truck were nails, which is likely what caused the accident with the cars too. Shit can hit the fan real fast if you're not careful. I check my tires at every stop and my fluids daily. I constantly watch my mirrors. Those things can save your life. Another handy thing I carry with me is charcoal and lighter fluid. I have a butane single burner camp stove (which has saved my life a couple times) I give rv'ers space and respect on the roadway especially the big ones. I've helped rv'ers at the fuel pumps. Because one day I will definitely be one of you rv'ers ❤🎉 Be safe and thanks for your great videos and reviews!
I would put a little thicker tires on for sure, my SUV has been better for that and a car also was better that I owned. 👍🏻🫵🏻🇺🇸💕☕️
Beautiful story, glad they were able to make it out by the grace of God.
Take a breath Mike - you should know that investigations take time. Your need to know as a lookie-lou is less important than a thorough investigation for the people involved.
More to think about..prepare for the worse, hope for the best ! And focusing on ALL the blessings ! Thank for sharing.
Wow, what an inspiring couple. Glad they walked away from this terrible accident with just some scratches and bruises. Congrats on their new rig. They didn’t give up what they love. Kudos to them. Hopefully they will enjoy their Rv time again for many years to come☀️
Accidents may be random, but resilience can be learned. To Norm and Nayda, thank you for sharing your story of love destined, lives divinely spared, and determination undeterred. Safe and happy travels. 🙏🏾👍🏾❤️
Happens to the best of us. Be safe
Program 2025 will end the National Weather Service so we won't know how hot it is anymore. Interesting fix for the weather.
In my opinion, this is not a very good story for us to be hearing on your platform
Lovely people. I am so glad they're ok and the granddaughters are going to have a blast with those grandparents!!
Agree with Jen, like to take my own food, just hard to decide on what to pick for meals.
Such a delightful couple you two are! Very informative-Thank you for sharing❤️
As I’m listening I’m thanking the Lord there was no fire and so thankful you are both doing well and can continue your RVing.
Thank you for sharing your video and information
Woo... I love that story. So romantic. Thats the best. Thank you for sharing this with me/us. ✌️😊
We’re going on the same tour starting the. 28th. Celebrating our 50th anniversary. Can’t wait. Leaving Monday because we’re coming from California. Have fun.
Hey guys, 👋😊. I'm a home grown Rhode Islander and I didn't really hear where your headed. I'm sticks and bricks next door in Massachusetts. Cheeper taxes. I'm working on getting a rig. I've learned some much from you guys already. Thank you again. Also thank you Wendy for your update. I appreciate you all very much. ✌️😁. 🎶🌈
Best wishes for your big trip up north in Canada. May all three of you feel happy and healthy 🎉
Such great news that you can make it. Looking forward to the Maritimes.
