Stay Off My Guardrail!

[olds]

22 year old college student fell asleep on his way to school...
He's fine. His shorts are dirty.

How long's it going to take you to fix that?

Good thing he was driving a tank.

 

[thepd7]

holy hell. took me a minute to notice the guardrail is THROUGH the car. damn he's lucky.

 

[thepd7]

oh and aren't they supposed to have things at the beginning of guardrails to avoid this ever happening?

 

[PhoKingGuy]

Is that I-80? It kinda looks like it.

Fortunately, I don't have to. But the crew that has too will spend about 6 hours on it. There's a lot of broken posts that have to be pulled out of the ground.
His insurance company will be billed for it.

It's called an "End Treatment" and it was in place.

I don't think I have ever seen anyone skin the rail off the posts before.

Maybe Jules will buy an SUV now to keep his family safe...

I took literary license with the title.
It happened near Deer Lodge, Mt. on Interstate 90.

In the second pic, you can just make out the corner of my cardboard box.
I am homeless. Please feel free to some some cash via paypal.

 

[Azraele]

Holy cow. 😵

 

[Krazy4Real]

Yikes. He's super lucky.

I had a case very much like that a few years ago.

The next two vehicles that came along nailed the rail, with one fatality.

Those guardrails are designed to prevent a lot of those types of things from happening, but humans keep coming up with ways to bypass those features.

He should pay to have the guardrail replaced.

rif.

He should pay to have the guardrail replaced.

In California, he (or his insurance) would. I am not sure about Montana.
He'd be paying for about six employees, at least 3 vehicles, an end treatment, posts, blocks and 120 feet of guardrail. Assuming it all went smoothly, that's about six hours labor. Now add another two hours for setting up and taking down the traffic control.
I'd guess someone will be out around $4500.

 

[techs]

That'll buff right out.

 

[OutHouse]

damn i bet the sound of that rail punching through his car woke him up real fast.

Not challenging you. It just seems like a few of the posters in this thread think that they are your original photos.
