Flying Volvo

[GRUMPS The Towman]

City P.D. called late last night for a vehicle into a pole. Upon arrival, I was informed the driver was heavily intoxicated, and ran from P.D. when they attempted to stop him a few blocks back. The intersection he flew through just prior to crashing has a very deep and off angled approach ramp and when he struck it, the Volvo went airborne, Up over the center median, Onto the curb and struck the pole. The impact sent debris including the entire left front wheel / hub and half the strut assembly 150' further down the road where it struck another responding P.D. vehicle.  After verifying with the utility company that the pole was intact, I rigged the casualty up, rotated it around and loaded it off the curb onto my deck. Fluids and debris cleanup took longer than the recovery. On my way down the hill, I stopped and retrieved the wheel / hub assembly as well.

Wow that did some damage! Nice work!  That probably was fun to load the wheel and strut, those things are usually heavy pieces to lift around!

Probably someone not in a sober state of mind. And a station wagon at that. That thing was probably totaled before the wreck! LOL

Well, over here in hippy, tree hugging Ithaca, We have a saying that in order to be a REAL Ithacan, Your required to drive a Volvo Prius or a Subaru.. Lol 

This town is straight up Infested with them. 

This particular clown is one of the "regulars" of City P.D.'s activities.. He is no stranger to their services.. Lol

And Yes Derilyn, I ended up lowering the deck once I got down the hill and rolled the whole wheel heap up onto the deck and strapping it down along side of the car for the trip to my Yard. 

This thing was a turd before the wreck for sure..

I am more than sure I am gonna eat this one... If it has any insurance at all I am sure its Liability only.
