Corn Roll!!! So, Is This How Crop Circles Are Made???

Using our Miller Industries, Century LCG 12 rollback (tilt tray) to recover an SUV that went end over end off a culvert and into a corn field, creating what looked to me like a crop circle. Thanks for watching and God bless.

Ron, I love how you drag it out in just such a way as to minimize further damage to the farmer's field. That means something, where I come from. No doubt it's a large part of the reason your community as well as your viewers love you.

Not smart enough to let others run flashing amber warning lights. I deliver lumber, often roadside on the side of state highways because my truck is too large to get into a few peoples driveways.. without a police presence to alert traffic. It's illegal to run amber flashing lights doing what I do while roadside. But you know what? I do it anyway.. my safety is way more important than some stupid regulation. Before I did that, it was chaos out there, people flying by me like I was broke down. It's definitely better now.

A piece of advice, bring a roll of plastic bags (30 litre) and put the debris into the bag, that way you make a quick cleanup and don't need to run back and forth to the vehicle.. Greetings from another road-service handler in Denmark

[@bobmazzi7435]

I'll put a little spin ( or is it flip? ) on this. As hard as it hit, and as much as was crunched, the driver lived through it. People say they don't make them like in the old days. And that's true. Pre airbags, seat belts, built in roll cages and all those other goodies this driver would not have survived. And note that even as badly crunched as it was both front doors still opened. And the passenger compartment had not crushed down enough to break the rear windows on both sides. I half expect that the rear doors may have still opened as well. The engineers who designed this chassis deserve a hearty "thank you" from this cars driver.

I'm a volunteer fire fighter in New York and when you mention about humor on scenes is just a coping mechanism. I would agree with you 100%. The wrecks we respond to and not to mention the fires we have to respond to. It takes a toll on your mental state. And even though some people may say that our sense of humor is not funny or how can we joke when we are working these scenes. I just think to myself the scenes I have previously been on and the things I have seen. Even though its light humor. On scenes like this the only humor is the best humor you can get. A small laugh could mean a LOT to everybody working the scene. Thank you Ron Pratt. And God Bless! Stay safe!

The driver had to have been going in the high 80's to get that kind of distance launching off the culvert and to roll end over end to the landing point.

[@stellarproductions8888]

Yep, its the typical story we've heard a thousand times. No officer around on country roads to give a ticket. So drivers speed in excess of vehicles ability to make turns. Then they lose control of the vehicle. Even when the guy recovers, he aint getting out of it that easy. Probably lost his license and has to face the judge for violation of the traffic laws and for property damage.

Greetings from Texas, Ron! As someone with sciatica and arthritis in the knees, I'd use one of them 10 or 15 prong steel garden rakes and either a shovel/scoop or grabber to pick up the plastic pieces. I do the same thing with yard trash like sticks and whatnot so that I'm not always bending over or squatting. Not only is it quicker in my opinion but its less painful also.

Personally Ron I enjoyed your joke. I actually chuckled, then laughed out loud at the response of one the law enforcement officers. Humor is a good thing over all in life. There are certainly times where humor is not a good thing though. This is a crash site or debris field were a rake would have been helpful I think. You have a very good handle on safety and remind the other employees of Midway Truck and your son when he is working with you. YOu are the kind of supervisor/boss I like to work with.

[@TheRealTronGuy]

Yeah, that deputy knows you..."he's too much of a perfectionist." And that debris would do a number on the farmer's combine...little pieces of Ford everywhere! Humor is absolutely a coping mechanism for first responders. It's not funny at all to the folks involved, of course, but to the folks who respond to this kind of thing day in and day out, you have to see the humor in it or else you'll go nuts. But, folks...pay attention to when Ron and the others crack jokes. You never, ever make fun of the people, and never make fun of the situation in front of the patients unless they start it. (Yeah, I'm a former paramedic, so everyone to me is a patient.)

[@mistergrampy6452]

I am amazed that that driver survived...that that cheap looking little car protected the person, even when it "stuck" the landing.
