I joke about the toe truck, but me and the wife were getting on to I-95 once. (long time ago) when this 18 wheeler flipped over right in front of us. He overturned on the entry ramp to I-95. He swayed one way and then overcorrected the other way. He flipped his whole rig over on a down slope. I did what any one of you would have done. I jumped up on his truck and opened the passenger door like a hatch. I climbed down into the cabin and asked him if he was ok. He said yes, but he couldn't move. He was locked in by a hydraulic seat. It pinned his legs under the steering wheel. I groped around for the release . ....I yelled, "SHUT THE FUCKING ENGINE OFF!!!" (it was still running and blowing black smoke). The driver shut it off. Then we pulled him out and I walked away. I got back in the car and drove away.
