Story !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Has this already been posted and I missed it? It seems to be front page news to me, but I haven't seen anything on here (and I searched "Baruth" on Oppo and the front page to see if I missed anything, and no stories came up about this).

No matter the past differences between Jalopnik and Baruth/TTAC, this is sad news to hear and I wish Jack a speedy recovery.

Despite all the jabs at TTAC around here, I do wish him all the best as well. Hope he recovers quickly.

I'm not clear what actually happened, although at least this time the rambling stream of consciousness is excusable given the situation.

I know it's poor form to be an armchair quarterback, but driving a Town Car, on all-seasons, on an unplowed road... there were a lot of decisions that could have been made better there...

Regardless, it's always sad when people get hurt, and I hope everyone ends up alright. Hopefully some more info will come in.

Yep, missed that one. In my defense, there aint much too that post, so it was an easy one to overlook.

Driving on unplowed snow with all season tires..... not the smartest thing.

"White ford lincoln" nice

Damn side impacts are the worst place to be hit in a panther, glad it wasn't any worse.

Good dude. I'm glad he's being up front with what happened on TTAC—maybe it'll motivate some of the readers to be more diligent on getting the appropriate snow tires. Glad to hear everyone involved is recovering—that's one gnarly crash. :o(

Actually, no Baruth there.

And Jalopnik's full of Jacks.
