Wood you believe that I don’t find this story very chipper or should I branch off to another article and leaf the reporting to the pros? I’m sort of stumped.
I needed a laugh – thank you!
Nip it in the bud
You funny!?????
NoBody, you are extremely clever with your comment wording. Nice to have a laugh in the morning.
I thought a CHP vehicle crashed, as I often hear them referred to as ‘CHPpers’
It happens.
The CHP warns us not to drag safety chains, but this is ridiculous. It was very lucky that the truck was not flipped also.
The damaged chipper looks like it will live and be chipper once again.
Sort of looks like the chipper pulled the bumper of the Chevrolet truck hard to tell. I would be willing to bet that the driver is not feeling to “chipper” right now. Thankfully no one was injured or following too close. Who is going to pay for that expensive Vermeer chipper.
