The truck in the woods

Connecticut · USA · Road

In the woods off Chalmers Street at Manchester, Connecticut, a man drove his truck off the road and into the trees while drunk, and died there.

The truck is still in the woods.

People describe seeing the driver lying helpless in it, and the detail everyone repeats is that nobody has ever moved the door, in any part of the woods where the wreck can be reached.

A vehicle left where it crashed is an unusual thing for a legend to be built around, because unlike a bridge or a road it is a specific object that either exists or does not, and generations of local teenagers have gone in to find it.

Abandoned wrecks in New England woodland are common enough, since dragging a vehicle out over soft ground costs more than the scrap is worth.

The woods are private land in places and the wreck is sharp, rusted and unsafe.
