Crashes of 2006/2007

It has been a real Northern winter this year, and with that, comes crashes. There have really been quite a few this year. Thought I'd do a re cap on them and hope that there are no more to come.

A friend of mines truck, they were running on dusty, snowy roads, he didn't realize the guy he was running with was slowing down almost to a stop, ran into the back of his trailer.

Heard this guy was from the East Coast, just caught the shoulder and it pulled him in.

A new guy working for Matco, bad weather and lost it, went over the bank about 1/2 a km from the Watson Lake scale.

A Calgary truck hit the ditch hard, and when 2 people stopped to help him, they blocked the road and another truck coming around the corner hit him, and crashed on the other side of the road, what a disaster.

Just a silly 4 wheeler, missed the road.

A Hi-Line truck slid into the guard rail, slid down it a ways and smoked the bridge. He was completely unharmed. (Unbelievable!)

A co-worker of mine got caught in a whiteout situation, lost the road and almost drove off the rock cut at Summit Lake.

Not positive what happened with this guy pulling for Hoskins. Just know it was North of Fort St John.

No one was hurt in the accidents shown here with the exception of the odd bruise, and that includes egos!
