Truck wreck

[CJEliassen]

So, I drive a friend home saturday night and end up crashing at his place. 8:30 in the morning he yells down to me "Dude, I think someone just crashed into your truck. I run outside to see this

My front right wheel was not on the curb the night before. She hit it so hard to push it up and over the curb.

 

[TinyInOhio]

That is a tough way to start the day. Hope she was insured.

 

[Rosco]

Thats a real bummer. How did the person lose control?

 

[CJEliassen]

Says she was playing with her radio. I am just glad there wasn't another car coming the opposite direction, or it could have been a lot worse.

 

[RT66DOC]

Was she cute?

i got hit JUST like you did. . It sucks. Find a good body shop and visit your truck whenever you can hopefully you find somethin nice to drive while its in the shop. . Just watch out for whatever injuries you sustained.

It that a lexus?



Cause that has got to be some serious money to repair that much damage



At least you have a reason to get a big ol' front bumper now

 

[CJEliassen]

Injuries?



I was in the house sleeping.



Yup, thats was a Lexus ES300. She was flying down the road. I am guessing she was doing over 40 and didn't know she was going to hit something till her airbag went off. No skid marks at all. I am wondering if she has a condition that she doesn't want the police to know about that would prevent her from driving. I still can't understand how someone can go across a very wide road like that without knowing it.



Those big bumpers are just plain ugly. No way I would ever get one. I want it just like it was. And I am going to check it out so they don't leave no crunched up metal or broken parts without fixing it. It the insurance company refuses to repair it like new, can I make them? Or make them buy the truck?

 

[Ol'TrailDog]

At least she stopped. (as if she had a choice) I woke up one morning to a hit and run on my good ol' 65 Ford F250.



Those big ol' ugly bumpers may be plumb ugly but sometimes they can be cheap insurance or same a lot of down time. Especially, if the deer, elk, moose, bison, or idiot isn't carrying insurance.

hate to see this but i must say, your truck looks a hell of a lot better off than that car. to bad you didnt have a tree to park behind. that way the idiot is the only one who pays

 

[dodgerep]

is it just me, or does it appear that every Dodge Truck owner always ALWAYS has digital camera on hand at any given moment. We never miss a wreck. . and you never answered, was she cute??????

Your truck looks totaled to me, how about selling me the rear seat if it's a 60/40 split and charcoal in color, (just kidding).



I would find a body shop that will warranty their work as long as you own the truck. We made the mistake with my wife's Jimmy not finding one to do that. The place we used though done a excellent job on matching the paint, I can't tell the difference, and I usually can spot a bad match up to a mile away. The body work they done was 5/8 ***** a little worse than 1/2 *****. Her Jimmy totaled almost $5900. 00 in damage, that our insurance and our $500. 00 deductable paid for, that has been almost 2 years ago and no settlement yet. On her third lawyer now trying to get everything resolved. She was hit by a lumber truck. Good Luck with your claim.

What were you saying about every CTD owner carrying a digital camera with them?



I had a minor fender bender a while back. I don't have any pictures of my truck because there was no damage.



Here's the woman that hit me -- notice how the road joins behind the trooper.

Then she decided to switch lanes on top of me. The left rear quarter of her car rubbed my front driver side tire and bumper. When she did that, it caused her to spin around the front of my truck, I tapped her passenger side, then she sort of peeled off of the passenger side and landed here:

She never saw anything that happened. She told the trooper that she just started spinning around.



Here's where I hit her after she spun in front of me:

I had another similar thing happen three weeks after this. It was a Taurus and he intentionally rammed his way into me. I'm glad there were witnesses to back me up on that one. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of that one. I have since installed Road Armor. No more problems. :-laf

I have he answer....

Perhaps she was so drawn by the animal magnetism of that good looking truck, sitting there so calm and understated, that she just had to see if there was really anything "Under the hood". As the lexus veered closer, the car took on mind of its own... Wanting, Needing and Desiring to be real car. Oh sure Lex was a good lookin' lady, but what she needed was a real car, ... no a REAL TRUCK! Drawn like a moth to a flame, Lex got a little closer, and to her surprise, saw that not only was that good lookin truck a Ram 2500, (She always liked them athletic) but that there was a BIG C on its flank.



Visions of hybrid Diesels flashed in Lex's mind and she lost all control... before she realized what had happened to her, she had halfway removed her bonnet and snuggled up as close as she could. Words like "RAM, Cummins, Heavy Duty and Tow Package " flashed in Lex's mind... and of course, there you were you kinky dog, camera in hand to get the evidence... is there no such thing as decorum anymore?

Gees dodgerep it sounds like you need a lady friend to relieve some of your built up "tension"!!! :-laf



I had a girl pull infront of me July 3rd when I was taking the jetski to the lake... truck is now scrap and the jetskit came off the trailer and ended up under the truck with the trailer ontop of it (shes got some road rash now)



The dad was standing in the yard and told the cops that i was doing over 70mph & never tried to stop or swerve... . but the skid marks in the road proved that theory wrong.

Her insurance should pay 100%. Your truck was legally parked. You should have $0 expenses. If someone asks you to pay anything get a lawyer.



Beed their before. Young (girl) friend of mine hit my firebird when I was hunting one day. SHe hit it two doors down from her own house!! I guess she had been drinking(under the age of 21) and ran perfectly into the back of the firebird. I got a rental car while my firebird was being repaired. WHen I called my insuance man, he stated my car was legally parked and the other person/insurance will cover 100% of repairs and rental vehicle. They did.
