Hello everyone!
On Thursday September 13th at 10 a.m., I was a passenger in a car that was run off the road and totalled while travelling on westbound Rt. 70 (both occupants are fine!). The driver directly behind us was too busy keeping an eye on us and didn't get a license plate number on the cement mixer truck that suddenly changed lanes while we were passing him in the fast lane, forcing us off the road. The truck driver did not stop.
My friend is hoping she can figure out the company to which the truck belongs, as they may have manifests for the trucks that show their routes for the day. Unfortunately we did not get a company name. We do know it was a newer truck, and very clean. The body was painted red and white, with stripes or swirls on the mixer. The mixer was shaped so that the back/top end tapered a lot; it's possible the model is one that empties from the front instead of the back.
If you think you may have ANY idea what company this truck belonged to (or if may have seen the accident) please contact me through my tribe profile. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
On a good note, we both climbed out of the car OK, were rescued by my SO, had the car towed, borrowed my parent's car and were back on the road by 3pm in the afternoon (for an 8 hour trip).
Thanks a bunch, and drive defensively!

Re: Car accident - can you help us identify this truck?

I used to work with construction and that type of truck doesn't sound familiar but I will email some of my old coworkers with your description and ask around. If I get any hits I wil let you know.

Fri, September 28, 2007 - 8:19 PMYou are welcome. I hope it helps. My ex-coworker is very well acquainted with most construction companies. I don't really want to bring them into it though so that is why I haven't mentioned their company but I did tell them thanks for helping. Whoever ran you off the road should be caught. -

Mon, October 1, 2007 - 11:04 PMThe driver is not sure that the company you mentioned is the one, she has one other that is possibility too. We may stage a "stake out" near both companies in order to get another look at the trucks while they are on the road.
