Yep I saw all the commotion but quickly turned to avoid the delay. I hope the idiot is all right but something like this needed to happen, because when I'm heading to work people shoot from the side streets without stopping all the time. It's like stop signs don't mean anything. I hate driving down that road in the morning, but its the shortest way to go to get to work.

I heared That the truck was coming down the off ramp from the bypass and lost control. Caused by a dog jumping from the pasengers lap to the drivers lap. This is 3th hand info tho.

As someone very close to the person who was in this accident--let me clarify some things. First and foremost the driver is doing pretty good. Second--speed was not an issue. The driver was doing the speed limit. Third--the truck was traveling on Northwood drive and not off of the ramp. Fourth--the dog who was in the back seat of the truck jumped into the front seat and the driver swerved when trying to get the dog back in the back. Fifth--the driver is not an idiot. Before you speculate on blogs like this get the facts. Don't just assume somebody is an idiot and was speeding. This is someone's family.

Usually when an accident is involved people are speeding. Just saying.

Hmmmm...dog unrestrained in the vehicle putting multiple people's lives in danger, and MANY without electricity for approx. 45 minutes.

In a word: IDIOT

Anon. 8:34 if you were the one hit instead of that pole, you'd be singing a different tune....MAYBE.

2:11 pm are you serious??
Unrestrained dog OMG!!! I bet just about every person that owns a dog has at one time or another had a dog loose in their vehicle. It wasn't until the last few years "seat belts" for dogs came about. To say that someone driving down a road in the middle of the afternoon with a dog in the car is being an idiot--I beg to differ. In my opinion you 2:11 are the IDIOT for making such a post. Stop jumping on people for making mistakes and have some empathy for the person that was in the accident. Which it was just that an ACCIDENT!!! Thank the good Lord above that the driver is ok.

To say that someone would be singing a different tune if they were the one hit is ridiculous--I agree with 3:29--you are the idiot!!!!!!

I wonder if he wants to sell those wheels and tires? This would never happen to me, my dog is always in the back standing on the toolbox.

I think that Black In Berlin is trying to "stir up stink"!

The driver was a "she" not a "he".

Wheels are not for sale!

Black? What the hell is wrong with your eyes? For your information I am a proud White man who takes his Caucasian heritage very seriously. My forefathers fought very hard for me to earn the right to say "I'm white and I'm proud!" So, you al-anon 10:44 should not assume that I am a black in Berlin, not that there is anything wrong with that.
Is the dog okay though?

Back in Berlin...I am oh so sorry!

I guess I read it wrong....my bad!

Other than the herpes simplex 12 outbreak (unrelated to the accident), the dog is fine.
