But I'll let you go, Rich, because my moment that I about to cross over Highway 11 I saw a truck past me and I heard a loud boom and then I saw a brake slamming with smoke coming off their brakes, he lost a load.
00:17
Oh, no kidding.
00:19
I mean, you stopped properly to get out of 11 or go past it, whatever.
00:26
And this guy just kept on coming?
00:32
side of the, you know, the other side of the road, and I was trying to turn on Choi Valley Road, which I did.
00:37
And the moment he passed me, I would say a few yards, all of a sudden, I heard of boom, and I looked in the repeat mirror, and I'll just start to see him so fall off his trunk, and he slammed his brakes, and the more he slammed that brakes, more stuff for on out.
00:50
So then I started flickering lights at people before I made my turn, and they all were slamming their brakes behind him.
00:57
So I was like, oh, Lord, I better get out of here.

Why would you think you had to get out of there?

Did you cause it? Or you think maybe you caused it? I kind of doubt that, but anyway, it was kind of fun.
01:14
To talk, say, well, it's not fun that there was a wreck, but you know what I mean.
01:21
I don't think I caused it because I heard the boom right when he passed me and I looked down.
01:28
It was kind of one of them, it's not a transfer truck, it wasn't a dump truck.
01:32
It was just a trailer on the back of a truck that people pull stuff with their regular trucks, but it's just a trailer like where they pull construction equipment on.
01:41
And all of a sudden I looked back and I saw the little flaps that lays the trailer down so they can pull their vehicle off the trailer.
01:48
That just come completely off.
01:50
the chain came off.

Oh, Roger, okay, I think I'm beginning to understand a little bit more.
