straight out of Final Destination... wouldn't you think anyone working for the Forest Dept would be familiar enough with logging to KNOW not to be so damn close you could get killed by one?

A USFS truck was at the front of a two-vehicle convoy traveling west on Highway 101.

 This vehicle was driving at or near the speed limit (55 mph) with the cruise control set.

 At 10:48 a.m., the lead USFS vehicle driver noticed a log truck turning into the eastbound lane onto the highway from the south side of the road. 

The log truck did not complete the turn as expected. 

The USFS vehicle driver applied the brakes and steered right (north) to create as much distance as possible. 

The trailer with its load of logs detached from its tow vehicle and rolled perpendicularly across both lanes of the highway—directly into the path of the USFS vehicle—leaving no chance for avoidance. 

The log truck’s loaded trailer and USFS vehicle struck each other in the ditch on the highway’s north side. The airbags deployed and logs from the trailer entered through the windshield. The driver’s side door was crumpled. Both the driver and the passenger hit the deployed airbags.
