Close Call

que suerte!

I harp the fact that it is accident prevention to focus on in Mexico not the ghost of Pancho Villa. Damaged knees, ankles and feet from cobblestone paved streets, holes in sidewalks. Pluck your magic twanger sidewalk guy wires holding up telephone poles. Insanely poured concrete steps, ski jump grade wheelchair ramps, awning braces plenty high enough for short Mexicans, and duck pond crosswalks. Quack quack, quack smack...

Wow - right place - right time ! Glad you're all ok. I checked your track - have fun in Villa Corona. Is PV next ? We're in Villa Celeste - Maz tomorrow, PV the next.

We watched a brand new John Deere Tractor doing somersaults off a trailer heading right toward us one time. The driver of the trailer had NO tie downs. He apparently set it on the trailer and assumed the brake would keep it on. :) NOPE, didn't.

Rarely happens on a highway. If the 5th wheel did not lock the trailer will usually drop at the first turn. But being this is Mexico one does not know if the 5 th wheel or the king pin was 40 years old and metal fatigued. They would never think of checking these items!

I watched a car carrier drop its trailer while making a left hand turn in front of my store. Luckily a steel power pole stopped it. Blocked the road for well over three hours while they removed the cars and then hooked up to it to get it out the road. Crushed the landing gear but luckily no ones hurt but the drivers ego. My store looked like a new car lot while they waited for a new trailer to come.

Can Happen ,but is pretty rare!
