Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

It's open now, but nasty crash.

 

Thank you sir!

DOH... what happened?

BTW, @Texoma , I'll hit you up soon. My welding pal is too busy with his Jeep stuff and I need to have the CMC done. You're pretty convenient to have in Lago. My wife teaches there.

 

ow.

 

Very ouch.

 

Head on collision. Stupidity at its finest.

 

Gawdang... Hope those involved are OK.

 

ATCEMS: Multi-car crash closes FM 1431 Tuesday

TRAVIS COUNTY (KXAN) — Austin-Travis County EMS said it received a report of a kayaker stranded in Lake Travis on Tuesday, but it turned out to be a false call.

A tweet by ATCEMS said a person in the kayak was “stranded holding on to a rock and shooting flares” in the 7100 block of Pace Ravine Drive. That’s on the north side of Lake Travis across from Pace Bend Park.

When personnel responded to the area, they couldn’t find anybody. An update by ATCEMS said, “after extensive land/water-based search by multiple public safety agencies on both sides lake, no patient has been located.”

Medics also responded to a multi-vehicle crash not far from where the kayaker is stranded. ATCEMS said FM 1431 between Jonestown and Lago Vista is shut down after three vehicles were involved in a crash with four people taken to area hospitals.

North Lake Travis Fire and Rescue took two people to a hospital, one was taken by Star Flight and the other by ATCEMS. Medics said the crash happened in the 19900 block of FM 1431.

 

damn

 

"How many air bags went off?"

All of them.

 

How many air bags survived?

News at 6...

 

They're all still alive at the moment, though one was taken by Star Flight.

I do not want to imagine the sheer force/accompanying sound that it takes to remove a solid steel dump trailer off of its fucking frame.

That collision had to sound like a howitzer.

 

Huh? The trailer is still together, the hitch on the truck bed was the failure point.

 

Look at the front of the trailer, it looks like it’s coming off of the frame

 

Well, "coming off" is a little different than "remove".

 

Question for any of you who had Firestone do their alignment on lifted Tacos. Did you do their "standard" alignment or opt for the "lifetime"? Will they honor the lifetime adjustments if the truck is lifted? I'm bring mine to the one at 1431/Parmer tomorrow morning. I also got a $20 off coupon for lifetime.

 

Damn! They are lucky to be alive if they are still so...

 

I did the same thing not long ago... did the lifetime alignment but haven't had to take it back a 2nd time yet
