WTF-150 Clip o’ the Week: ‘God’ and Ford Save Driver from Disaster
When huge trees began toppling ‘like dominoes’ in front of his F-150, Ronald Wiley’s handling of the situation would make Ken Block proud.
“God was definitely watching over me,” Ford F-150 owner Ronald Wiley tells West Virginia’s WSAZ about how his truck and its excellent handling helped him avoid a potential disaster on the road. He credits his luck to God, but we think that Ford was watching over him, too, when Wiley was recently travelling on a wet and rainy country road in Lincoln County.
“Seven trees were tangled up all together,” he says about what happened next, when huge trees began toppling “like dominoes” right in front of his truck. “One was across the windshield, and one was across the top of the cab.”
You have to watch Wiley’s clip to really get an idea of how scary the situation was, as well to see just how well Wiley and his F-150 handled the situation. When faced with danger, the man and his truck control like bosses, especially when the roadway dilemma was actually worse than it initially appears.
“I looked up and saw the cable lines and telephone lines were still intact,” recalls Wiley, “so I went ahead and backed out just in case they did give way.”
‘I looked up and saw the cable lines and telephone lines were still intact,
so I went ahead and backed out just in case they did give way.’
Funny enough, however, is that Wiley brushes the whole thing off as a “slight brush with Mother Nature,” which is how he described it on Facebook. This Ford F-150 truck owner is so badass that he laughs — literally– in the face of danger, ending his post with an “LOL.”
“All is good,” Wiley added. “I’m fine and my truck will survive. God watches over us all the time.”
Glad to hear (and see) that the F-150 driver and his truck drove away virtually unscathed, sans a broken windshield wiper and relatively small crack on the front grille. All things considered, this is further proof that the Blue Oval really does make ’em “Ford tough.”
