Chapter One
Jackknifed
xxx
A routine patrol of the highways was something Optimus Prime admired about Earth, the roads were (usually) smooth and easily traveled, and the scenery wasn't half bad in most places, the desert could get a bit dry, (ignore the pun) but otherwise peaceful patrols were rather enjoyable.
Optimus Prime's CB crackled to life, a fellow semi driver was yelling for back up and for warning. Fifteen miles ahead of the truck another semi had lost control and was hurtling down the hill, luckily there were no other cars in front of the loose Kenworth as it raced forward, pushed by a trailer loaded with logs.
A mile a head of Optimus was a narrow bridge, right after a turn coming off the hill, the Kenworth wouldn't be able to slow down and make the turn correctly let alone compensate for the bridge.
The lane Prime was in was full of cars, all in a line behind a slower truck, a moving van loaded to the brim. Prime contacted Prowl via comlink, requesting human authority assistance before sliding over to the other lane and getting ahead of the traffic, slamming on his brakes and blocking traffic with his alt form and trailer.
Ratchet was yelling for Prime to move but the Autobot leader ignored it, the humans had to be kept safe; most were honking and yelling for Optimus to get out of the way but a pair of truckers in a blue and green freightliner hauling steel beams had heard the distress call as time ran down. The other truck copied Optimus, pulling past him and parking along side the other trailer, creating a two truck and trailer barrier between the other people as the runaway Kenworth came into view.
Optimus could hear the sirens of the human vehicles, as well as Jazz and Prowl, Ratchet was on his way with the fire department. The Kenworth's driver blared the horn full blast, just as panicked as the other people either backed their vehicles away and off to the sides of the road away from the two barrier trucks, or left their cars completely.
Hitting the turn the truck began to jack knife, the trailer heavier than the truck and swinging out of control, the driver jumped clear as it hit the bridge...
And rolled.
The freightliner drivers had left their truck as soon as the Kenwoth came in sight.
Optimus didn't have that option, engaging his parking brakes and holding them tight as the Kenworth slammed into the steel truck and then the steel slammed into him.
Too much action? I wanted to get your attention...will be posting chapter two and then will wait for awhile...need to catch up a few other stories but this one was begging to be posted.
Review please!
