Ouch. YoBro at Dfwstangs posted this carnage up for all to see. Apparently it happened off of 75 somewhere last week. Is there anyone with a red L that hasn't posted here in awhile?

Here I will try to link the pics.. Doug feel free to resize or edit due to size:tu: Here is a guys description: This lightning crashed into my work parking lot last week. This morning at 1:30 AM security called to inform me that a car had exited the service road (taking out trees and bushes on the way) and hit our light pole in the parking lot. Last report the man is alive with two compound fractures the truck was demolished. Police and fire were here when I pulled up. They want to look at our camera video tape sometime today. Had security call IPM Todd Starwalt to inform him of the situation. Light pole was leaning, put out cones and caution tape to secure area. Called LPM De De Wright this morning and told her about the accident

I'm getting them to come up in Terry's post.

I apologize I couldn't get them to load on my original post. Ghetto dial-up has got me down. :(

Looks like multi-flip and into a pole windshield first! Holy Cow! I can't imagine anybody lived through that.

Somebody has got to know who that was. :(

He's gonna feel that in the morning! Unbelievable! The ashtray might be salvageable for you smokers out there. His angel must have had a helluva time keeping up with him...one lucky dude to still be alive.
