Dave,

Sad to see your wrecked GMC, however, I am glad that both you and your wife are OK!

THAT'S the most important thing!

Yes it was a TZE GMC, my 1973 23' former Painted Desert #295.
We were on our way home from eclipse camping, tail end of a 300 mile trip, 4 exits from home and we were losing power. I pulled over
to the edge of
the pavement, about 3' off of the road, marker lights and flashers on. My wife had stood up to go astern when he hit us. She was
checked out and
released at the local ER with some injuries that we are dealing with.
Lots to be thankful for here, the coach absorbed a huge amount of energy.
Oh yea, it was also the first trip with my newly rebuilt 455.

A few photos from the scene.

Thanks for posting the news story, I thought there was a third vehicle involved but was not sure. I was not sure if I would post
here about the
accident. If I got all of my GMC information from the forum, I would be scared to leave the driveway. It is not all breakdowns and
tragedies.
