Saw this guy in a parking lot on Sat, apparently he found out the hard way that his truck didn't have the clearance to make it through Ye Olde Snow Pile...

Keep that transmission and engine warm and it shouldn't take any time to get the high-centeredness melted away.

It looked like he was high centered, the snow was very dense there. A little more speed for the first try and I agree that he would have probbaly made it through.

He was trying to 'eaze through it so he didn't damage anything'.

Driving home from work today and my dash cam came in handy. Focus on the center, just up and to the right. Look for the guy who did not secure his mattress and box spring properly. You can barely see it flip out and then they are seen in the lane a couple seconds later. It was a miracle there was no immediate accident... Can't speak to what happened afterwards during that rush hour. You can click the Youtube icon in the small video to blow it up larger. Be safe all!

Driver charged after plywood flies off truck, hits motorcyclist

At about 4:30 p.m. PT Friday, Gerald Grever was driving a 1993 Ford Ranger south on Highway 3 just south of Newberry Hill Road. He was in the left of two lanes. Behind him was Charles Wade of Kelso on a 2005 Harley Davidson, according to court records.

Secured with one bungee cord.

And the motorcyclist was tailgating.

Bad combination.

Not this driver-> Grever, 31, said he saw the motorcyclist lose control. He pulled to the shoulder after noticing the ladder dangling. The ladder and plywood were on the work truck when he arrived in the morning. He didn't disturb them during the day, but he didn't secure them. He told police he knew there was just one bungee cord holding the ladder but couldn't find anything else to tie the load down.

A drug recognition expert with the State Patrol examined Grever and placed him in custody for driving under the influence. Documents don't explain why. He also had a suspended driver's license, which he said he was unaware of.

He is in the Kitsap County Jail with a bail of $10,000.<<<

This is very close to my house in fact I drove by the scene yesterday but in the opposite direction of the divided highway. Newberry Hill exit on HWY 3, where it happened is the exit I take. Did see quite a gathering of police but didn't know what it was about until now! Thanks for posting.

Motorcyclist tailgating?

My experience is a lot of motorcycle riders tailgate... just natural as they know they can stop faster. Just like when I'm towing I keep more distance than usual. Regardless if he was or wasn't you can't expect to get hit by flying plywood. Ouch!
