Lucky to be alive
 
Please forgive spelling as I am medicated.*

Yesterday on the way home I was side swiped by a " black, 4 door, 4x4, dual wheel, gmc/chevy ". The truck looked new and it had a motorcycle in the bed. This truck came around a curve skidding into my lane striking me in the drivers door. The impact was insane, when I came too people were trying to free me from the car. The other driver never stopped. The fire and police told me if it was not for the roll cage I would be dead.

WOW Glad to see you made it out. They will find him. Piece of crap he is...not to stop.

Sorry to hear this. Glad to see, for the most part, you're OK.

Just happened to my neighbor last week. Rear ended and the guy took off.

Hopefully they get to SOB.

Crowhater 08-06-2013 09:47 AM

I just finished building a new engine for the car along with other stuff. They are going to total it for sure and I will get screwed again.

Yes but like you said, "Lucky to be alive". A new car can be built. Take care of yourself.

How does that work? I have more money in the power train than the car is worth and it was running after the impact like nothing happened. look at my signiture list below.

Don-Vette 08-06-2013 10:02 AM

Wow!!! Your lucky to be alive alright!! Get all your friends to start combing the area and body shops for that truck!!!

C5North 08-06-2013 10:03 AM

Pretty clear the car can take a hell of a hit. Glad yo uare OK.

Boomer111 08-06-2013 10:03 AM

Horrendous, heal quick

By the way is this the OP lying on the grass in the second picture? ( legs only )

Mr.Nubain 08-06-2013 10:04 AM

Glad you're alright. Hopefully they gave you some solid meds :) The driver of the other car most likely was impaired, it's amazing how often sh!t like this happens. I really hate people.

FlyerVette 08-06-2013 10:08 AM

So glad you're ok Crow. What a close call you had...!! Hope they catch the idiot that did this too you so you can throw the book at him. Not to mention he drove away from a crash scene having to know what he did....

Buy back from your ins for the salvage price, keep what you want and part out the rest...I have done this a few times myself...

Yes that is me feeding the fire ants. The police figured he hit me doing between 55-60mph, and it rung my bell pretty good.
