I guess I am posting this out of anger more than anything!

Friday night around 11 I was heading to a friends place to prepare for the trip to Cochrane this weekend and things went a bit crazy!

I was going through an S bend and I saw headlights in my lane ahead. I swerved into the oncoming lane, but the other car came back into that lane at the same time. *I tried to head into the ditch on the far side of the road but the other car clipped my right front side and cause my jeep to roll onto the driver's side.

As you can see from the pic, I was hit pretty hard.

I have a few bumps and bruises and some cuts that needed stiches but all things considered I am fine.

The other car had 4 passengers, all drunk!

I don't think my jeep is going to make it to Cochrane in it's present condition. *I tried to get a pickup from the rental company but I ended up with a Ford Focus. *

I had plans to meet up with DanR in North Bay and we were to meet up with LadyK, Permafrost, etc. in Cochrane.

If anyone from Southern Ontario is heading up with a tow vehicle I have a 4 place trailer and with 2 sleds on it, I would be happy to pay for the fuel.

Glad to hear you are alright. At least they will get pinched for impaired and here in ontario we have ZERO tolerance for impaired drivers.They WILL pay.I also have bad news about rental vehichles for you. the only way to get a rental with a hitch is uhaul and the fees are astronomical.#$@%^%$#@!@#$%$^%&* rotten drunk drivers throwing a wrench into our trip.Maybe Dan has a truck to pull the trailer.He can pick you up maybe?May a thousand cockroaches hatch in the drunk drivers house.Flood, fire, famine and plague be wished upon them.Was the drunk driver hurt?We will miss you if you cant make it, but if not we will hook up next season for sure. I was thinking of a big barbque up here at my place in the fall to celebrate the oncoming of snow and you are all invited. *
