Don't fall asleep while driving...

One very lucky kid. God was definitely looking out for him.

a guy who is a friend of one of my co workers assisted at this accident yesterday 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 rear window. That is 120 LF of guard rail that threaded
through the suburban.

No passengers and the driver was not injured.

I am sharing this as a reminder to all about NOT driving when you
shouldn't be behind the wheel (drinking, texting, distracted or just
plain tired).

anyhow this is a wake up call to alot of people me i think its because automatics make life to easy behind the wheel of your car and thusly allow you to do other things and not pay attention to car noises and other things like that.....

And since i know the guys ok joke time.....

I guess since the driver fell asleep the truck decided instead of just eating gas it wanted a peice of that guardrail 2.....

Glad the kid is ok.
