I left this morning to time it so that I got to Illinois right at a half hour before sunrise. Things were going pretty good. Made it through Chicago to the south side on I-294 at mile marker 9 when things went sour. Here is what happened.
I saw the car at the same time you see it in the video. We were the only vehicles involved, fortunately. The two occupants of the car were transported to the hospital by ambulance. Here is the damage to their car.
Now here is the damage to my truck.
Lost about 100 gallons of diesel fuel. The truck had to be towed. Dropped my trailer off at the towing company's yard then towed the truck to the International shop in Joliet, Illinois for repairs. I went for the required drug and alcohol test. After that got a rental car and checked into a hotel. Have no idea how long I'll be here. Never a dull moment.
