The Tragic Injuries Resulting From Logging Truck Accidents
Local 10 News recently reported that a driver made it out alive after he rear-ended a logging truck and his car was impaled by logs from the front windshield to the back window. Authorities have asserted that he apparently was leaning down to get something he had dropped when he ran into the log truck. Firefighters had to cut through 30 to 40 logs with chainsaws before they could even start to cut open the car and rescue the man. Because the driver was not in the upright position in his seat, his head ended up in a gap between the logs. Miraculously, the Georgia driver suffered only minor injuries.
