Truck accident - oops!

[Dmitri]

I got into an accident going 80+mph, flipped my truck three times (head over tail, not sideways. Guy behind me said he never saw anything like it). When I came to, the truck was lying on the drivers side. I got my seatbelt off but couldn't get out, so what should one do while waiting for the rescuers? yeah, I had my camera with me.

Yup. (as an aside, fractured my neck - C5. Joy... Very lucky though. Surgery, and now I have to wear a collar for a long time but could have been much worse).

Only a photography nut would break out his camera to photograph his own wreck from the inside The cop in #1 seems to agree.

Good to see you're fine, considering what could've been a tragedy. We would've missed out on seeing these photos.

Wow. Just. Wow. I'm speechless. And that almost NEVER happens.

Seriously, dude, I think you get the prize. The prize for WHAT, I'm not sure.

Glad you're at least reasonably okay!

P.S. You blew out the sky in that second shot...

I do wonder what that policeman thought of the whole thing, lol.

[Dmitri]

My gear was actually fine, not even a dent in a stand.

DUDE! You deserve an engraved plaque from the photo community for your dedication to the art. The cops were probably telling a story about the nut with the camera back at the station.
