‘Currently Waiting for the Cops:' Truck Runs Through Woman's Yard at 55 MPH and Takes Off. Then She Sees Their Milwaukee Tools
Truck Yard Wreckage
Krissy begins her video by walking through a yard, showing off the damage caused by the runaway driver. Left behind were sets of tools packaged in Milwaukee's distinct red branding. The TikToker can be heard saying off-camera, 'Hey Milwaukee, a truck just went through my yard at about 50 miles an hour.' Next, she pans her lens up off the ground and onto the road. Another large toolbox can be seen resting beside the asphalt. Further along, an additional large storage container, also red in color, rests on the side of the road.
As she continues to walk, she commends the build quality of the brand's offerings. 'All their toolboxes, your [expletive] is still surviving,' she says. The TikToker then hones in on a smaller Milwaukee clamshell-style case that's still intact. 'If this ain't the best form of advertisement, I don't know what is. You're welcome. Not a [expletive] mark,' she adds, walking past yet another Milwaukee toolbox as she flips her camera around to show the distance she's traveled in the clip. 'All the way down there, through my fence. Go Milwaukee,' she says, showing off the damage to her property as her clip comes to a close.
Milwaukee Crash Updates
Krissy also posted several follow-up videos that further delineate the aftermath of the truck crash. In this clip, she shows skid marks left on a driveway, along with tread lines that tore up portions of their lawn. The TikToker also notes that a neighbor's mailbox was damaged in the accident.
In
another clip
, she explained that the person who drove through the yards was a 32-year-old mother. Krissy detailed that her husband ran outside to approach the woman, who the TikToker says was intoxicated behind the wheel at the time. Moreover, she detailed how frightening the incident was, as her daughter and dogs were in the yard prior to the accident. She shuddered to think what could have happened if the woman struck them while they were outdoors.
Thankfully, she said that 'everyone is OK,' but it was difficult getting back to sleep after thinking about what injuries her loved ones could've sustained. In yet another
TikTok
, she shared a photograph of the truck after it careened through the yards. The picture shows a red pickup stalled on an embankment on the side of the road. Krissy appears to have digitally scribbled on a portion of the photograph over the opened driver's side door, presumably to shield the identity of the woman driving the truck.
Commenters Respond
Several folks who replied to Krissy's video seemingly urged her to keep the Milwaukee tools for herself. 'What tool boxes? We didn't see any tool boxes,' one penned. Another replied, 'Nice of them to drop off your new tools.'
One user on the application quipped, 'You lost a fence, but gained a contracting business.'
Whereas another joked, 'Well at least [the driver] left the tools to fix it.'
Another TikToker speculated that Krissy and her family could keep the tools and resell them. Subsequently, they could get the money from the tools left behind to pay for the construction of a new fence.
'In fairness. those tools resell for more [than] the property damage. God works in mysterious ways,' they wrote.
There was one person on the app who urged Krissy to bring up the incident to the county in order to argue for the installation of a guardrail. 'I'd be talking to the county & see if you can get a guardrail installed in yours & your neighbors front [yard],' they said.
And from the looks of this user's comment, it seems that there are others who've had to deal with drunk drivers ruining their property: 'We've had our mail box ran over 4 times. 3 doors down we have the party house. My husband finally put a thick metal pole in the ground very deep down with cement. So this time they are just gonna run it down next time. I can not stand drunk drivers! Every single one should be in jail.'
Guardrails
According to the
Federal Highway Administration (FHA)
, guardrails are installed in order to 'lessen the severity of crashes.' These multi-part systems help to prevent or minimize damage to property that rests behind them by slowing down or stopping vehicles that may collide with them.
A number of tests are conducted on guardrails to determine their protection efficacy. One assessment involves a side-swipe scenario. If a vehicle were to steer into a guardrail, the apparatus should redirect the car back onto the road.
Furthermore, head-on collisions are also tested on guardrails, which are designed to absorb the impact of vehicles. Portions of the rails are designed to bend as a means of capturing this kinetic energy to assist in stopping cars that directly strike them, grill first. The FHA writes that most guardrails are rated for speeds up to 62 miles per hour. Should a vehicle hit one at speeds in excess of this figure, 'the guardrail may not operate optimally,' the organization states.

Police searching for suspect in the killings of a couple found dead at an Arkansas park
Police are searching for an unknown suspect in the killings of Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, according to a release from Arkansas State Police Sunday. The Brinks were hiking in the Devil's Den State Park with their daughters, ages 7 and 9, who were not injured in the attack. The girls are safe with family members, police said. The park is in a remote and rural area, where the terrain is 'rugged, vegetation is thick and there is no cellphone service,' police said. Police were notified of the suspected double homicide around 2:40 p.m. Saturday. The suspect is described as a White male of medium build. Investigators said they believed he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt with sleeves rolled up, dark pants, a dark ballcap, sunglasses and fingerless gloves. He was carrying a black backpack and seen driving towards the park exit in a black four-door sedan that may have been a Mazda with its license plate covered by tape, police said. The vehicle may have been travelling on State Highway 170 or State Highway 220 near the park. The area has been cordoned off and police have asked visitors to the park to share any images they might have of the suspect from the park Saturday. Local residents have also been asked to check security and game camera footage. Police have increased law enforcement presence at state parks, said Shea Lewis, secretary of the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism in the release. 'We are deeply saddened by the tragic events that occurred at Devil's Den State Park. Our hearts are with the victims' loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. The safety of our visitors and staff is our highest priority, and we are working closely with Arkansas State Police and various law enforcement officials as the investigation continues,' the statement read. The Brinks family had recently moved to Prairie Grove from another state, police added.
