Sad Situation

Sad Situation indeed but thankful it wasn't worse....

Can you say "gypsy trucker"?

Yep...I know what you mean. I also suspect others do too. So...let's leave it there and be sure not to take this thread in a direction it don't need to go.

The loss of the car is bad...but we all know this could have been much worse. My thoughts and prayers go to Leland. Now he has a unique tale of how tough the old Packard was that allowed him to survive the attack of the big-rig!

So sorry, glad he was not injured. Hope he is well insured.

Ouch ! Glad the driver is OK. The trucker did not stop; wonder what the rest of the story is, but we'll probably never know, unless someone got a license number or some other identifying info.

Total Loss... :-(

[Chris Pile]

Dang! Isn't that the Packard he just bought recently? Too bad.
Glad Leland is not hurt.

Thankful he's OK - that poor Clipper tho - has clipped to many pylons.

Leland Laws, a long time SDC member, was involved in an accident while in route to our Perkins, OK car show this morning. We had a storm front moving through, and apparently an 18 wheeler clipped Leland's car, sending him into the center median, where he struck some pylons:





The truck driver did not stop. Leland is not injured, and his wife was not with him (which is unusual,) so we can be thankful of that.

Leland is a dedicated SDC member, and lives up to the "Driver" in SDC... today is a good example, he was going to the meet, rain or shine.

Let's be careful out there!!
