He was on his way to Des Moines, he failed to stop at a hyway 3 stop sign, a semi hit driver's side at 60 mph. Curt survived his surgery to repair heart, has many broken bones, two collapsed lungs, skull fracture. He's 41, family man , family would have been with him but couldn't go at last minute, His 2015 ram diesel has side air bags, probably why he is alive! Guy from emmetsburg witnessed the accident, he got in passenger side and held Curt's hand and told him to hang in there, he was going to make it, till help arrived, an angel for sure!

Wow. I'm glad he's not dead. Sure enough an easy mistake to make.

Glad he is OK. I sure don't envy the long road to recovery he has in front of him.

Very sorry to hear about this and I pray for the accident victims quick recovery.
But, there are way to many people driving that are in a great hurry, not really paying attention to what they are doing and just plain dangerous.
Slow down, be careful out there and some common courtesy to other drivers would not hurt. I see lots of people who just want to be ahead of as many folks as possible. Like its some kind of race...it gets worse every year.

Maybe I never noticed it when I was younger but it seems like a lot more people blow through stop signs from township gravel roads where they intersect with a highway. I know there are people who are just crossing the highway and continuing on the township gravel or a county paved road that don't like having to stop but there's a reason for the sign placement (usually). Another thing I see is people who stop but do so by rapid braking at the end instead of just slowing down. If no one is behind me on the through highway, I'll often slow a bit or at least cover the brake when I see someone approaching a stop sign at a good speed. I don't know why people want to wear on their brakes so much...

Sorry to read that.
One of the best guys I've ever known (and his wife) were killed by running through a stop sign (on a motorcycle). Hit a corn wagon in the intersection! What a lose. He was so safety orientated, USA induro cart (go cart) champion at or near the time!

I hope your friend recovers quickly and the trucker can recover and accept it wasn't his fault and get back to driving soon and that his employer also realizes it wasn't his fault.
we came very close to getting smoked this last summer. my 15 year old daughter with learners permit had been driving but we had switched when she got tired about 30 minutes earlier , she was crying when it was over it was very real to her that she probably would not have seen the truck before it went behind the building at the corner and to known it was moving far to fast to stop in the distance it had left while towing a goose neck trailer of culvert pipe.
we were on the state highway and the truck was on a county and had a stop sign , he never even slowed down.
lots of bad stuff out there on the roads , everyone needs to do there part your not just driving for you sometimes you have to drive for them also
drivers ed was saying make sure your watching ditch line to ditch line , I say further , try and watch as wide as you can to reasonably see deer still in the field about to bolt , cars not going to stop at intersections , watch for brake lights out in front of you an make sure to keep your following distance generous.

I hope he comes out of this OK. But I still think he should get a ticket or do time for that stupid stunt. That's how people get killed.

What does being a Packer fan got to do with blowing a stop sign?
I know that but that dosen't lessen the severity of what happened. It could have been some ones loved ones that could have been killed. We all do stupid things but that dosen't give you a free pass. How many times did he blow a stop sign with out any consequences? I hope he comes out of this Ok.

Yep they can. But most screwups don't have the potential to cost someone else their life. Glad it was a truck and not an older subcompact car like kids often drive.
Good to hear all involved will recover.

I doubt he runs stop signs on purpose, he was combining a work trip with a trip to state wrestling tournaments, not a drinker. I could see a drinker getting charged with jail time for blowing a stop sign, if he was on his phone he surely would be charged for that during investigation of accident

They tried to let him wake up, his eyes started to open, and then his blood pressure shot way high, I bet he felt how bad the pain was and started to react to it, they put him back under for now As they were waking him up they stopped pain meds to see how he's doing neurology wise, so he probably felt the full pain of the injuries

I'm getting worried about him, I hope they can wake him soon. I think pressure can't go high because of aorta repair by his heart, I think all organs went to one side of body from a blow like that, lucky his heart didn't tear loose, I think that's what kills some people in sudden stops, head on collision

His mom said he gave her the thumbs up today! She said he did it for her but not the dr.lol she said probably wondered why some foreigner wanted him to give him thumbs up, I guess it was hard but he did it, wow he's in tough shape yet I was really happy to hear this! I think it's the first movement he made in 20 days

My wife and I might go see him Saturday, the witness to the accident, the one who held his hand and told him to hang in there buddy, he wants to come see Curt too he went to school with Curt's sister in-law

I bet the guy will be real glad he should make it now, I still can't believe someone could survive a hit like that, Yes it sure is nice the guy did that, It probably will affect him for long time

Do not underestimate what holding someone's hand and talking to them at a time like that does. Very glad to hear that the accident victims recovery is going well.

A local couple n son stopped at the hospital, they said they thought the world of Curt, they teared up seeing him lay there, his ex business partner said he will cover Curt's business expenses for six months, wow, that's more than I make in a year! Did he have insurance?

Everyone has to have insurance or you won't get any work here. Only crackheads don't have car insurance, it's 400$ fine if you don't have proof of insurance, even if you have insurance, if you don't have proof with you they can write you up. They were able to have him sit up in a chair for a while yesterday! That sounds like good news. He had a lot of company yesterday, they want him to just see close family today, so I guess we can't go see him, His wife told mine he pays 10,000 a month on business bills, so his old partner is helping him big time

So lucky the family wasn't in his truck, so I guess once in a while getting in trouble is good! His oldest son got caught cutting donuts on school parking lot, boy couldn't go to wrestling tournament, so mom stayed home with the three boys too. Or possibly one of them would have noticed his mistake and stopped him?

Sorry I am just seeing this... I'm praying for a continued, speedy and full recovery. Rough deal. Life is like that sometimes. Glad it wasn't worse.

Today he had help, but walked to door of his room and back to bed! It was all he could do, fell to sleep right away. They moved him from icu to a regular hospital room, they might have him start therapy soon. He got very little sleep last 3-4 nights, not sure what was wrong 35 days, long time already I think they are close to letting him talk, not sure if trach will be removed, or if there are other reasons

He is doing good in therapy, he has another swallow test today, trying to learn to swallow again. He has been nauseous and vomiting lately, they are looking at gall bladder, might be cause, I guess if you go on a crash diet you can develop gall bladder trouble, he lost 40 lbs since accident
