Ever heard of the saying “stuck in the mud”? You know – people who live in a world of excuses and just can’t get things done. Of course you have.

Well the video you’re about to see is one of those situations where the saying originated from.  A tractor trailer gets stuck in a massive mudslide on California’s 395. The mud ripped through the stretch of land like a wave crashing down at the beach.

Thankfully, the driver was not inside his 18-wheeler when it happened. The incident would have been tragic if he was.  Eyewitnesses say the truck was pummeled under the weight and volume of the mud. They described it as a “soda can being crushed.”

After you’re amused by the video, hopefully you take a second to appreciate everything around you. Scenes like these remind us of the devastations beyond our control and are a great reminder to never take things for granted.
