Summary

In Episode 44: Hammer Lane Fatality, Tony and Brian are joined from the road by Chris, a long haul trucker. There's always a lot of potential to see some crazy things when you're behind the wheel, but it's especially true when you are driving a big rig. We've all had close calls on the road, whether we almost hit someone or were almost hit by someone else. In Chris's case, he was unlucky enough to have more than just a close call. Chris joins us to share his experience being involved in a fatal accident, explaining how it happened and the effects the accident had on his career and his life. Through it all, Chris manages to keep a good outlook on driving and on life.
