Upside Down in Florida, Uruguay

Overturned van and fire extinguishers

Full story coming soon.

In 2018, on a road near Florida, Uruguay, the van I was driving rolled. I was carrying a load of fire extinguishers for work (ingeniería contra incendios), not the kind of cargo you want flying around a cabin.

The van on its roof

The extinguishers broke the windows. None of them hit my head. That’s the only reason I’m here to tell this. I almost didn’t make it.
