With the greenery growing up through the engine compartment, it appears to have been there longer that a couple of days...

Looks like it took out a gas line. Lucky there was not an explosion

I talked to him earlier. He’s OK. His wife has a broken leg but is OK too. Could have been worse, I guess.
