SHE ENDED UP IN A 10FT UPSIDE DOWN TOTALED HER TRUCK AND BROKE HER COLLAR BONE. THERE WAS A WRECKER DRIVER ON THE SCENE THAT NOTICE THE REAR AXLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF HER TRUCK HAD BROKE IN HALF AT THE TIRE. SPOKE WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THEY SAID THERE SON HAD COMPLAINED TO THEM ABOUT A NOISE IN THE REAR END BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR
