Snow Plow + Car = Not Good

One time in high school me and a few friends were driving up a long and windy two lane road into the back country. It was a nice, sunny day and we were speeding along until we came up behind a car going, oh, I don’t know, probably the speed limit. So, my friends were shouting for me to pass the car on the left (which was legal at this point since there was a yellow dotted line) but I would have done so right before the crest of a hill and couldn’t see THAT far in front of me (even though no cars had come in the opposite direction for a good five miles.)

I pulled to the left and started to go, then settled back behind the car, deciding not to tempt any sort of fate waiting for me…

Just then a school bus full of kids comes over the crest of the hill right when I would have been completing the pass.

Phew…

For me, I mean, I could care less about the kids.

A 24-year-old Asbury man suffered a major injury early Saturday morning in a crash with a PennDOT snow plow on Rout 329 in Allen Township.

Pennsylvania State Police at Bethlehem say Lee D. Pyle was driving east on Nor-Bath Boulevard (Route 329) at 1:40 a.m. when he lost control of his 2000 Prizm on the snow-covered road. The car went down a hill and into the opposite lane, where it hit the plow on the front of a PennDOT truck driven by Walter A. Rabenold, 25, of Easton.

Pyle suffered a major injury and was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in Fountain Hill, where he was listed in fair condition this morning, according to a nursing supervisor. Police say he showed signs of intoxication, and a blood sample was collected to determine his blood-alcohol content.

Rabenold suffered a minor injury and was treated at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg.

Two passengers in Pyle’s car — Devin L. Engle, 21, and Mitch Brown, 23, both of Bethlehem, escaped injury. Source

These guys surely have Facebook profiles, but seeing that they are the innocent victims here, wouldn’t be fair to post, you can find on your own. Let’s hope everyone turns out OK here…

You know what I’m worried about though??? I wonder where that Bangor Teacher’s Aide has been hiding. She won’t go on a date with me:(
