    Bob, Zoe and new brother Odie. We were on the way to rescue him when we had the accident. He’s our new addition to the pack after losing Layla to cancer a few days before. Rainee stayed home because she hates long car rides.

    Holy shit! Looks like you hit a moose at highways speeds. Your dealership should put a framed photo of the wreck up on the way with a note saying you walked away unscathed.

    Edit: a plow makes sense too

    Man I get the impression that you could write a book with the accident and the rescuing of the dogs. Seems like you’ve got stories to tell.
    Glad the pups got you around.

    Thanx guys. I’m lucky to tell the story and yeah, there’s lots more to it. Just thankful I didn’t hurt the kids. They’re our family. Now if I can make a difference in snow plow visibility on the highways, I’ll be totally stoked. I’ll see the judge soon.

    Holy Moses, so glad you and the crew are ok. Hard to believe, seeing the truck. Thank you for sharing, and letting me know I bought the right vehicle to put my family in. This is why I have chosen Toyota trucks over the last 15 years. The occupants are able to tell their own stories after a crash.

    Best wishes with the judge!

    This is 100% why I bought a Tacoma for my commute in rural Alaska, and, not judging, 100% why I don’t pass in snow storms when I can’t see the road ahead, especially passing semi’s. Glad everyone got out alright!

    No storm. Clear weather. A bit of packed snow in the left lane but nothing most of us would blink at. The issues were massive closing speed and a perfect storm of visual irregularities all rolled into one. I just read it wrong and it almost cost us more than some inconvenience and a few bucks.

    Yeppers. That’s why I’d like to bring it to light in hopes of finding a way to avoid it again. This type of accident is on the rise out here according to the highway patrolman I spoke with. You simply can’t see them through the spray they kick up and the speed differential is insane. I won’t get into the plow driver behavior I witnessed on the way to recover personal items the following week. Frightening and dangerous.

    It sure is. You bet your life it is. Yes, it is. Thanx man. I was lucky to find it. That configuration, no matter the color, is a bitch to score and I’ve done it twice. This time it was on the lot vs. waiting 4 months like last time.
