Rollover MVA in Wassaic - 12/1/08

[markmets415 524]

One of those close ones, note the large 8" x 8" post protruding out of the area where the back window was. Driver was alone and was a RMA, if there was a back seat passenger it clearly would have been a different result.

The vehicle struck a culvert to the left of the trooper car and went airborne and missed the driveway completely.

Chief Boyles after surveying the vehicle, note the large divet where the car hit after going over the driveway and then rolled over again and came to the final landing location.

I had left the camera in the truck and the batteries went dead after only a few pictures of this rollover. I posted a few of your pics under your collection that you had sent me of the fire in Wassaic.

Nice Pics, How bad were the injuries?

No injuries, he signed off, he is the young gentleman by the front of the vehicle in the second to last picture, he's a good kid we have known him for a long time, maybe this will slow him down, hopefully. As stated luckily there were no rear seat passengers. That's why I posed the pictures was because of the large post through the back of the car.
