Yikes. Nice truck (same as mine).

Guess anyone in Seattle that was planning on heading to Canada to camp needs to make other plans ASAP!

This happened near the town where I live. As a truckdriver, I travel this bridge daily, sometimes multiple times. The Dodge Ram in the picture was pulling a newer travel trailer that ended up upside down in the river. The couple in it were heading out camping for the long weekend. It is amazing to me that no one was killed and that only two vehicle were involved with no serious injuries.

Here are some pictures taken on the scene. Just unbelievable how smashed up some of those vehicles were that fell in the water and that the people were still alive thank god.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
