Is that the only damage on the truck? It's a good reason to leave the hitch in when not towing. Other than being a shin eater, it can save the bumper. I'd like to see some one try and get that one out though. Looks like a new receiver is in order.

I wish that was the only damage...5 car pile up and guess who was in the middle? The guy that caused it fell asleep. After the accident he got out and asked if everyone was ok (everyone was) and then got back in his car and took off.

Nice. I'm surprised his car was drivable if he was able to pile up 5 cars and toast that... I was going to say black Honda, but I really can't tell what it is. I grew up in a bodyshop, so that's not the easiest thing to stump me on a wrecked car, but there it is. If they catch the guy they should revoke his license for 10 years.

He didn't go far...couple miles and parked his car at a McDonalds and took off on foot. It is just a matter of time before they catch him. I think it was a honda prelude or similar. I grew up around a body shop as my father owned one for 20+ years.

better the hitch than the motor on the boat.
