He was in a dually ford 1 tonne with a flat deck carrying a couple of quads, i guess the quads flew quite aways into the bush after impact. I wish i had pics of the mess just to see what the trucks looked like. I am sure i will see pics in the near future.

It just good to see that you will make it through, and have as close to 100% mobility as possible.

But yeah, why was the dude going so fast!!!

Wow. Glad you can still walk and all that. I'm betting it's safe to say you wouldn't have fared as well if you were in a car.

Lots of people drive way to fast on the gravel roads way up north for 2 reasons 1) not a cop within 2-3 hrs. 2) Often guys working in the oilpatch have 2-8 hr drive home after a 3-4 week stint in camp so needless to say ...need to get laid:D , may have been a dry camp:cheers: , not there vehicle:flip:

, 18-20 years old and are not using their touqe:nono: so its not that uncommon to do 70-90 mph. Keep in mind these are very wide gravel roads built with rig moves and heavy equipment in mind. I must say i've been there myself....15-20 years ago!

lol! maybe but i think that if anything that should have made him puke cheese:yuck: From what i heard today the driver in that vehicle is in worse shape than myself....no seatbelt, hopefully he will be alright i guess he is only 18 and only had his learners liscence, the vehicle owner was passed out in the pass seat at the time of the accident. The investigation is now complete and was revealed that i was not at fault in anyway. Soon i will be able to replace that truck, so at least i can look forward to that.

How long did it take the EMT's to get to you?
How far to the nearest hospital?

The nearest hospital was about 2.5 hrs by vehicle through nothing but bush and bumpy roads,there is air ambulance but unless your dying... I was lucky there was a camp ambulance about a half hour away with an emergency med crew that came to help us out after someone else 2 wayed the camp for help,they also delivered myself to hospital in Grande Praire.I am assuming that the same happened for the young kid but not sure as i dont remember much untill the med crew came then I start to remember bits and pieces. I just know the ride sucked.

Actually i live in a city of a million people (Calgary)that is about 10 hr drive or about 500 miles south from where the accident happened. The bottom half of Alberta is really no different from where you probably live,the north half mind you is nothing but bush,moose,oilpatch and natives.But i still like to think im tough:D
