I made it out with only bumps and scrapes and sold everything to the nice tow truck driver who cleared the road and kindly let me stay at his house til I healed up enough to hitch a ride back to Connecticut.
I hope the insurance company treats you right, unless you are like me and only carry liability on my work truck. Either way, so glad you're not dead Scott!

Thanks Brian, I do think about it a lot more after the fact. Worst/best case scenario for me is it could have been a one way ride home. God has other plans for now. I’m glad that I didn’t take anyone out.
Your situation sounds a bit more brutal than mine. Your tow truck driver sort of sounds like a “Good Samiritan” story that I’ve read a few times.
There were three different fellas that stopped to help me. That I think is encouraging to see folks will get out of their cars on a freezing cold morning to help a fellow man.
