I have a girl who is working for us for the summer with my oldest boy who has downs. anyways, she comes to work this morning, i open the door and i notice her truck moving. I say "who is driving your truck?" she says "no one OH SHHEEEET" her truck is rolling down the hill that my street is on, So i take off after it in my socks, chase it down, doors are locked, I tried to get it to stop but it just kept going faster and faster! its lucky it hit the transformer and didnt end up in someones living room because it only went half way down the hill, if it went all the way down it would of went right through the house at the bottom of the hill, and killed whoever was inside. luckily no one was hurt. here is a few pics

Yes, it is amazing that something wasn't lit up........holy crap!

You should of seen me panicking. As soon as the truck stopped and the sparks stopped I look underneath and see all this fluid pouring out. I first assume it's the gas tank pouring out but rather it was the miniral oil from in the x former. But when it's all happening you don't know what's going on. Not sure whats gonna happen so I started pounding on doors to get ppl into their back yards.

I can see the panic setting in........not a nice place to be with all the sparks and potential for gasoline leakage.......

Glad no one was hurt !!!!

Was the power company mad ????
Did they "charge" her ?? (sorry for the pun) !!

What is all damaged on the truck ?? Anything serious ??
Was she "shocked" to see what happened to her truck ?? (Sorry again for another bad pun)

No idea what Bc hydro will charge. It will be paid through her insurance anyways. Thru weren't mad rather amused at seeing something new. She was pretty shook up over it. The what if game starts and 100 diferent scenerios start playing in your head
