According to DPS Trooper Walts, the maroon F-350 was heading southbound on 2288 when the driver of the vehicle dozed off. He exited the roadway into the west bar ditch, woke up and over corrected, then came back on the road, side skidded and exited on the east bar ditch.

Once he exited on the east bar ditch he hit a slight enbankment and rolled into a barbed whire fence and came to rest on all four tires. Debris was scattered all over the scene, and the drivver was treated at the scene for minor scratches and scrapes.

According to Trooper Walts, the driver will be cited for failure to drive in single lane. Walts said the man was heading from Odessa to San Angelo when the crash occurred.

that's what ya want, if you're in the opposite lane - a 350 pickup barreling out of control. How comforting to know drivers are "Driving Friendly". NOT. A family member has to drive that road a few times a week for NON oilfield business, but still has to take on the same risks from these gigantic bullets on wheels.

Here we go again... Were you on vacation or something, Nina? It was so peaceful on here for a while. Now, here you are again - somehow relating every story to you or someone you know or someone you're related to.

I am in San Angelo today taking care of errands. One of my errands involves going to Grape Creek so I checked and made sure my car insurance is up to date and I have enough gas to get me back from GC. I am hoping I am not stopped at a red light and get car-jacked or if I do have to make a stop at a store in GC, that I am not involved in an altercation with 4 white guys asking me for a quarter as I walk in or out of the store. I really don't want to breathe too much of that open air while I am in GC today since I have an employer required drug test Friday and I want to make sure I pass it. I'm just kidding:-) I don't have a drug test Friday.
