The big crash |
Lead | |
|
Last night my wife and I were driving to a friends house when a car in front of us put there blinker to turn right off the highway at the intersection so I
moved to the left lane to go around when they suddenly turned the blinker to the left and jerked it over into our lane. I slammed on the brakes and they hit us
in the 3rd door on the right side. Slid us sideways and we took a nose dive into a deep ditch and the truck laid on its side and then came back on 4 wheels at
least the best I can tell. We were not wearing our seatbelts (which will never happen again) and best I can tell I knocked out the drivers window with my elbow
and was nearly ejected from the vehicle by the look of the dents in the inside of the drivers door. My wife hit the top console with her head and broke it
clean off along with the cup holder. When we stopped she was upside down in the floorboard she was taken to the ER by ambulance. The people who hit us said
we're sorry we don't know these roads and we were looking for the hospital (well they found it and sent us there too). My truck looks to be totalled
and there 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee the only damage the had was the front bumper fell off and they had to tape a headlight back in. But the main thing is we are
all ok and lucky to be alive. Here are the pics of my truck.

Glad you're alright! Tough to lose the truck, but I can't emphasize enough how important seat belts are! Thankfully it wasn't worse, but the truck
can be replaced. I hope your wife is ok!

Yes my wife is ok she has some bruising but nothing serious. Honestly the truck really doesn't matter to me I'm just glad its the truck and not us. I
don't know what is was about the truck I just never really wore them but normally in my wifes car my seatbelt is almost always on.

Its really hard to say. Honestly I don't even know what they looked like. All I know is there was about a 3-4 year old girl in the back seat and the
passenger was pregnant and that was a pretty scary thought.

Glad to hear you guys are ok. I hate to see the truck like that but its better to lose that than anything else. I never used to wear seatbelts either until I
worked in auto body repair for 3 years. Some of the things you saw made me always think about it everytime I got in the car.
