YIKES!!! Wonder how fast this dude was going when he ran over the SPEED LIMIT sign?
He may have been taking a nap behind the wheel, driving while tired is a Bad Thing.
If he’d have hit one of the old steel TONKA trucks this could have had a very different outcome.
Hope he wakes up soon.
Thoughts and prayers for the toy dump truck.
Hay Dear bring home some corn
