Mirror, Mirror

 

Tonight after work as we were on our way to go feed...we were traveling down this road - Split Log Road. Just like we always do. Well, you see the yellow line? You see how narrow this road is?
 
There is a mailbox on the right, and further down, there is a sign on the left. Well, we were traveling down this road last night, and there was a lady coming up the road driving a Ford F150 truck.
She crossed over the yellow line right where that sign is, and side swiped our truck!
 
Both of the mirrors on the drivers side - on hers & ours smacked! The chrome on Bart's truck popped off and landed in the street, and the mirror popped out as well. But, the wires that control the mirror were still holding onto the dangling mirror. So, thankfully it didn't break. No one was hurt! And, the damage was limited to the mirrors.
 


 Unfortunately for this lady, her mirror fell out and smashed on the ground, the top piece on her mirror popped off too, and when her mirror folded in, it scratched the drivers side door.
 
Bart was able to pop his mirror back in, and replace the chrome piece, and everything worked! We truly lucked out! The Police were called, and he didn't cite either one of the drivers. He said that we were basically responsible for repairing our own trucks. Lucky for us - it was already done!

 This is a road well traveled, but these little "country roads" have a whole new meaning! We are almost paranoid to drive down here now!
