Yeah, I was coming home late at night from work because I used to work night shift.
00:04
I'd get off at like 2 in the morning.
00:06
And so I was driving down Kraemer Boulevard, about to cross over Imperial Highway there in Brea.
00:14
And so my light had just turned green, so I start to accelerate to the intersection.
00:19
And this lady in the Kia Soul heading eastbound, I was going southbound, she's heading eastbound and runs the red light going like 60, 70 miles an hour.
00:28
and just completely bent up the whole front end of the truck.
00:32
It wouldn't start anymore, it wouldn't even steer.
00:36
It was all damaged.
00:44
I was heading off to get some water for my big bottle.
00:50
And the truckback enemy trying to make room for another car to fit down the narrow road.
00:59
It's always fun trying to navigate down narrow roads with that big thing.
01:05
No, I never really had a problem with it.
01:06
It was usually other people who were scared of my giant vehicle,
01:10
even though they can get just as close to it as they can get to any other size vehicle and be just fine.
01:18
Still, man, but did she walk away from that wreck?
01:21
Yeah, I walked away from it.
01:24
I don't know what happened to her.
01:26
From what I heard, she had some sort of a gash in her forehead, but she wasn't hospitalized and disfigured or anything.
01:35
Dude, that's crazy.
01:38
But, yeah,
01:39
um,
01:41
Kia Soul took out a Ford Excursion.
01:43
So much for bigger vehicles being the winners, right?
01:47
Yeah, man. And it wasn't even really the size of the vehicles, I think, that was the cause of it.
01:53
It was really just the trajectory.
01:55
It was very unfortunate because she sort of,
02:00
what's it called?
02:02
I scraped along like the side of her vehicle with the front of my car, if that makes sense.
02:06
So she was coming through the intersection at the exact moment as I was, you know,
02:11
going into her side.
02:12
And so I think that's what did it in was that whole transfer of momentum.
