    How the hell did that happen?

    Cracked frame rails! Buy the looks of the strapped hooked to the bumper, it was being pulled by something pretty stout and it pulled it apart.

    I saw something similar happen once, truck stuck in mud, d-9 pulling it across to hard ground. Driver got some traction and put slack in the cable, Dozer operated did not notice and then truck lost traction... cable came tight all of a sudden and then the front of the truck left the rear.

    That looks like a makeshift airline to fill the air tanks. It may not have been hooked up to the right tank to release the brakes and the tow rig got a little over eager. Just speculating

    Ya, that red line hangin' in mid air. I was kinda wondering what that was and now it makes perfect sense. Maybe they are set'n up to to an "outta frame" on it? LOL!! "Here hook this up to that pin, it will get the hood and all that other crap outta the way"

    That sure looks like one of Tri-can well servicing rigs from up here, wish the doors were visible. I agree with the towing idea.:bash

    Probably just as well the thing tore up there as going down the road.

    That is a tri can truck. I have a buddy that works for them, and he told me what happened. Apparantly they had to tow it for some reason or another, and there was a rookie driver in the truck. So from what my buddy told me, the guy getting towed slammed on the brakes for some unknown reason, and the result is what you see!
