Rolled my 7.3 non-SMBon Friday - dog ran off in panic - need help finding
So I rolled my 4x4 converted 7.3 e350 on Friday on the way home from camping. Had the whole family in the van including our 2 dogs. We went off the road and down an embankment and then flipped off a small ledge. All that were buckled up were ok. My son was laying down in the rear bench without a belt on, and has a minor compression fracture in a vertebrae.
The van is a Javier van, but I will say it was well built. The frame buckled a few inches behind the radius arm brackets that are part of his conversion. None of the conversion bracketry that was a part of the 4x4 build failed at all from what I could tell, and the steel bumper and roof rack probably contributed to our good fortune in surviving in a terrible roll (flip) over.
Also our black lab bolted from the scene once I got her out of the van, so if anybody is traveling or camping near bayfield, co or pagosa springs, co or traveling through on highway 160 and spots a loose black lab please call la plata county animal control or call me 713.539.9090.
