Driver went off road

Was headed to the lake this morning to get in a little fishing and stumbled on this truck in the canal right up the street from my house. No telling how long it had been there when I called 911. Sadly the driver didn't make it.

It amazes me how many people will drive by something like that and not even check.

Bad deal. I wonder if the driver had on a seat belt? I have seen a lot worse and they survived. The wolf on the windshield had me wondering.

Driver wasn't wearing his seatbelt. When I stopped at the intersection and say it I almost didn't stop. I saw the tool bag on the windshield and assumed that someone had already to get it out. I then thought something about this didn't look right. I walked up and saw the driver laying across the front seat. Doors were locked so I beat on the window and no response. That when I called 911, took them over 10 minutes to arrive. While waiting I tried a second time to get into the truck without falling in the canal with no luck.

Yes, very commendable. Most would not have stopped probably.

Terrible. Driver should/could have easily survived that impact with seat belt.

Same thing happened over towards FTW a few days ago. Crazy. That would definitely put a damper on things.
