This accident
occurred north of Deer Lodge MT, on I-90. The driver was appx 22 year old
guy heading east to College. He had left central Washington early in the
morning. He fell asleep at the wheel and drifted off the shoulder hitting
the end of the section of guard rail.
The guard rail came through the right headlight, engine compartment, firewall, glove box, passenger seat, rear seat and exited out the driver’s side rear window. That is 120 feet of guard rail that threaded through the suburban. No passengers and the driver was not injured.

We are sharing this as a reminder to all about NOT driving when you shouldn’t be behind the wheel (drinking, texting, cell phone, distracted or just plain tired).
"He was walking around like a ghost when I got to the scene", the trooper said.
Kind of gives a new meaning to, " Chevrolet, the heart beat of America" don't yah think? Just Imagine the stink inside the driver's compartment!!
