Dodge trucks - built RAM tough
« on: April 01, 2009 - 12:18:46 AM »
The story goes that this incident took place in Alberta, Canada. Apparently the driver was drunk when he struck a traffic light, shearing it off at the base. However, reportedly this driver didn't stop, nor did he notice that the entire traffic light and pole were now embedded into the front end of his truck. Sounds pretty unbelievable, but the pictures don't lie. No matter what the circumstances, there is indeed a traffic light and pole firmly wedged into the nose of that Dodge.

Not a big fan of newer Dodge products anymore since my 2005 ram that was a POS but I have to say, that IS impressive.

Found this info on another forum.   That's all I know.

This happened in Vernon , B.C.

The driver hit the left turn light at 48th Ave. and 27th St., shearing it off at the base, and then kept driving on about 2 kms. to Squires Four Pub; Where he stopped for more beer!! How drunk do you have to be to NOT notice that you are carrying a lamp standard? (It has/had an Alberta plate on the truck. No one said anything about a smart driver.)

The truck was towed about 2.5 kms., with the light still pinched between the two tow hooks and bent bumper, to the Vernon Towing yard, where it took several good hard pulls with a backhoe to get the pole free.
