Thanks so much. It was actually an old church pew. That you would sit in during mass. It was like a bunch of old stuff from a church or something that was being torn down probably. The back of it was off, so it was mostly like a bench without the legs. I saw it when we went to get somethings out of the truck. They had it laying there next to the truck. It was HUGE! It had to be longer than my van. And it looked very heavy. The truck looks so bad in person. The car seat was still in there. They are holding the truck for three days for evidence. It is so terrible. I know I never want to see that thing again. Even if it is fixed up, there is no way thatI could ever drive it. I took some pictures of the truck and the pew that hit it. I am not going to put any of them here though. It's just for legal purposes. The driver did not have the things tied down at all. And when it happened, he came back and asked if everyone was ok, after the a$$ chewing he got he went back to the truck and started to try to cover up his load!!! He didn't even offer to call 911. My poor sister-in-law had to dig through the truck to find a phone to use. I just got off the phone with her a minute ago and she and his mom are going to go take more pics of the truck tommorow since all I had was a camera phone. They have to have them for attorneys and stuff like that. The thing that makes this so terrible to me is that it could have been prevented if the driver would have taken five minutes to just tie down the load. He may have gotten away with saying that he had it tied down too, but the shot in the news showed otherwise. This trucking company is going to pay for this! I think that it should be completely illegal to drive with anything back there and not have it covered. It justs makes since. How many people are going to have to be killed before we finally make it illegal!
