Default Lucky Crash

Got this in an email today, thought it worth sharing.
Sorry about the SIZE...


Goes like this...

HE MUST HAVE BEEN DRUNK ,SOBER PEOPLE ARN'T THIS LUCKY
OK Folks.........take a close look at the picture..........



Look at the first picture above and you can see where this guy broke through the guard rail.
(right side where the people are Standing on the road).
His truck left the road, traveling from right to left.
He flipped end-over-end, Across the drainage outlet and landed on the left side of it.



Now look at the 2nd picture below





YOU'D GO BUY A LOTTO TICKET AFTER THIS.

Have seen this on another forum like 6 months ago. And everyone thought it was fake cos if it did crash right on the edge how come the rescue guys don't have any saftey line in case they fall backwards down the cliff etc etc

yeah that 2smooth but also, the pictures look like they are in half black and white and half colour. another thing i think of, with that drain there and such a big cliff with a town below it, you wouldn't want it to rain too much would have one hell of a waterfall.
I think fake. but still would be freaky.
