SAN ANGELO, TX — Pandemonium erupted on S. Bryant Blvd. near the Town & Country intersection today as a heavy-duty pickup, hauling a flatbed trailer carrying a yawn-inducing boring machine, careened out of control in a heart-stopping single-vehicle crash shortly after 3 p.m. Traffic ground to a halt as the scene unfolded, with at least two southbound lanes shuttered to accommodate the frantic efforts of first responders.
As we rushed to the scene, the aftermath of the calamity greeted us: a colossal piece of machinery, resting awkwardly on its tracks, had been unceremoniously dumped from the trailer, while spools of poly-tubing lay scattered like confetti. The trailer, bearing scars of the chaotic ordeal, bore the brunt of the damage, unlike its seemingly unscathed truck counterpart. However, the real spectacle was the collision with a power pole, prompting an urgent response from AEP as a live wire dangled perilously close to disaster.
According to authorities, a lethal cocktail of poorly distributed weight on the trailer and a reckless surge of velocity sent the contraption hurtling into a wild frenzy, its trajectory careening towards catastrophe. With the precision of a runaway train, the trailer vaulted the curb on the west side of the road, smashing into the utility pole like a battering ram, leaving destruction in its wake. Miraculously, no injuries were reported.
However, the chaos didn't end there. The driver of the pickup, amidst the wreckage and confusion, found themselves on the wrong side of the law, slapped with citations for an unsecured load and a failure to tame the speed demon, as per the treacherous conditions of the road.
In a bizarre twist, there were no sightings of the infamous Nissan Versas, which had seemingly taken a hiatus from their starring role in recent S. Bryant Blvd. crash sagas. Perhaps they sensed the bedlam that was about to unfold and wisely opted for safer pastures.
