Guy coming over the rise doesn't see the truck and slams into the back hard. Driver had to be airlifted out. He lived but evidently had a long rehab from a TBI.
I remember that one VIVIDLY...Andrew's car was stuffed under the truck...they opened his car like a can of beans to get him out. Glad he made it, only saw him a couple races after that.
