I talked to Joe this morning. It happened south of Denver near Larkspur, a notorious bad section of I-25 when the weather turns cold due to the black ice. Somewhere between 30-40 vehicles involved. Thankfully mostly bumps and bruises for his guys.

The tractor, trailer, and pick up are totaled. The coach that was following is crippled bad. They cut a hole in the hauler to peek inside; the cars are askew but otherwise look okay. The main deck is a mess. They hope to have the rear cut off the hauler tonight. Long week for the Furniture Row team. Sucks.

Really awesome for RCR to step up and help them out with a hauler and equipment after this accident. Just glad nobody was hurt.

man that sucks,

I live just south of the area of the Highway and it gets bad because of wind and bridges and ice.

Bummer for those guys,
that hauler is cool (ive been inside on tour), but im sure its no differnt than the other 42 teams

This is too bad. I am glad no one was killed or seriously hurt.

I kind of wonder why they were even up that way though? I know most and probably all the teams use I-40 to travel back and forth to the races out West. Maybe they were just sight seeing.
