Default Truck saved my life...

Came over the crest of a hill dry roads and all of a sudden black ice. Rolled 6 times lost both passengers wheel assemblies. Told that in an accident like that I had a 10% chance of survival... I walked away (cuts and bruising), I am by no means a religious person but...

That's scary. I'm glad you're okay because stats say you shouldn't be alive. Be thankful for the chance because along with being alive, you can still walk.

Well man, you should thank your guardian angel. This is very scary because we also have a lot of black ice from time to time...

Could happen to any of us. Good reminder to slow down and watch out for the unexpected this winter. Thanks for the warning and God bless.

That's the second 3rd gen I've seen in that condition, the other fella walked away too. Seems these trucks are very good at sacrificing themselves to preserve the driver. Glad you're OK, must have been one heck of a ride!
