Thankfully no injuries. 16 YO kid “failed to negotiate the turn” in front of our place yesterday.
I was in the house and heard it happen. We are 200 yards back from the road. I looked out and saw a cloud of dust and a rig casters up.
Called it in as I was heading out to investigate it and found him ok but trapped inside. On the phone with his mom. He didn’t call 911.
He said all the doors where jammed. But he was too jacked on adrenaline to think it through. I talked him through hitting the power lock button and I was able to get the rear swing gate open. He came out under his own power. I was glad I did not have to touch or move him.
Got him to walk over and sit in the shade and did triage. Made him sit there under that tree until EMS arrived for a full checkout
4 hours in the sun between the boom and EMS, LE, and power company vacating. Power company because he took out a power pole. So no power for 4 hours either.
Had to keep the fridge and freezer doors closed, so we went to town and ate out.
