Yikes. Driver survives freeway plunge.

[catbyte]

This is the thing that nightmares are made of.

"Wisconsin authorities say a pickup truck driver survived after plunging 70 feet off an elevated highway. Officials say the driver lost control, traveled up a snowbank and over a barrier wall. The truck landed on a distress lane of Interstate 94. (Feb. 9)"

2. This was one of my fears riding my motorcycle to work. We had one of those big

spaghetti bender over passes like the one in the vid. I could just see coming up to one of the sharp turns about 70 feet up and not making it.. uffda....
No I don't do that any more... I lost the big "S" on my chest years ago...

3. I remember years and years ago a woman driving a Yugo lost control of her car and went

over the side of the Mackinaw Bridge at about the midway point, plunging to her death. I still get the chills thinking about it.

4. I've been over that bridge on my motorcycle heading to the U.P. Spooky stuff!!

They were doing work on the roadway and we had to ride our bikes on the metal grate..
Even though my bike weighted close to #700 it still danced around like crazy...
Beautiful part of Michigan. I could not get enough Whitefish... Delish!! Smoked or broiled with lemon and capers. Whitefish salad was smeared on everything but. my bike..
