We left Garden of the Gods, after eating another meal of cold cut sandwiches, and were on our way to Colby when we started having the truck trouble. Mr. Davey pulled the truck onto the shoulder and got ready to hop out to see what the noise was, when across the barrier a tanker truck merged into the adjacent lane forcing a sedan up against the barrier. The sedan slid about 50 feet before teetering to a stop atop the barrier. Mr. Meier jumped out to go help muttering something about being boy scouts, having first aid training, and how lucky it was he had his CPR mask with him. As it turned out no one got hurt, so as soon as Mr. Davey and Mr. Hill made a temporary repair to the truck we got Mr. Meier back in the truck and pulled out. In the end the only thing that came of the accident was one shaken woman driver, a totaled sedan, a good blog story and a tanker truck driver…whose insurance rates just went up.
