I've seen that already-that's not a fence, it's a mattress. You can see some of the padding still wrapped around the shaft.

Ditto. It's been around for a couple of years now I think.

The original story said that the driver went for awhile with it like that...I really can't see how.

In training one of the drivers did that with a fire engine going over a chain link fence. He didn't get 10 feet. Took about an hour to cut it off.

Oh I'm sure the back story is just wonderful.
A truck
A Matteress /Location accesable for above truck.
Driver of said truck ran over it enough to shread it into pieces that were able to become one with the drive shaft.
Ya there's a women involed but I'm wondering she was behind the wheel.
Either way just wonderful.
