T-bucket crash

[Bill Cleveland]

Bad day! I crashed my T-bucket this morning. I’m OK, but the bucket, not so much. Out for a cruise, weather was clear, roads were slightly damp. Took off from a stop light and everything seemed OK then it broke loose and I wound up in the lane to my right. Lady hit me as I spun in front of her. The impact spun me again and I went over the curb and off the road backwards on the right side. Ripped the left front wheel – broke the spindle - gashed the oil pan; passenger-side headers were crushed from the impact with the lady in the Volvo. Don’t know of other damage right now, but hopefully nothing major. It was a low speed crash –only about 35-40 MPH. I was not injured, thank the Lord, but shaken up a bit. Lady was not injured either, but her car was pretty messed up from hitting the curb after she hit me. Insurance company will let me know Monday what the settlement will be. You just need to be super careful in these little cars.

Sure glad you are OK. The bucket can be fixed, but your health can not.

Thank you all for the nice comments and well-wishes. I guess the Lord protects idiots and infants. I ain't no infant!
