Glad to hear you are ok. I used to live in Tucson, AZ and my brother in-law lived in San Diego. My wife was going to visit him, and loaded our 96 GMC Sonoma up for the 5 or 6 hour drive. Like you, near Yuma, AZ she did the same thing. Reading your story was a little eerie for me, since it was pretty much word for word how she explained her wreck. My 18 month old son was in the front in his car seat, and our dog was in the bed that had the cap on it. Needless to say our truck was totalled then too. Wife was banged up pretty good, but everyone was ok, even the dog!
Anyways, glad you are safe and nice truck!
