the crash today....
 

Just recieved my first crash with another car. So glad the other driver was not hurt. I thank God she was not hurt! We lost no tires. Should be a cheep repair on my truck, but for her's, it may need some repairs. New s.u.v's rip open, old trucks dont. I'am afraid her insurance will have to cover both damages,...nobody hurt. You just dont know who will be comming home for supper. Just glad that I go on for another day and that I support my kids.

John, I'm glad that no one got hurt.

What happened John?

Sounds like it was the other drivers fault - glad you're ok and that the damage was minimal.

Sorry, to hear that, John. Glad everyone is ok.

Thanks guys. Up to date, I will have my truck repaired at the other party's expence. What happend was: I was making a left hand turn into my place of employment. There is a legal passing zone on this side of the road. A 2009 subaru forester decided to pass at the moment I turned. So because the subaru was in a legal passing zone, I did not make out with a full repair bill. But the accident was deamed a 50-50. Therefore, 50 percent of my truck's damages will be coverd by the other party's insurance, and 50 percent of her vehicle damage coverd by my insurance. Even at 50 percent, I can have my truck fixed and maybe finaly get my creeper for the cc 71.

Good to see you back, John! Glad your truck is getting fixed. :beerchug:

Thank you! Now the insurance companys are hashing it out. Insted of the 50/50 deal, I believe I will recieve full repair. This is intresting. I dont want anything more than to have the repairs made. The other driver's argument is that the accident took place in a passing zone. More to come.

Hope everything works out for you John!

Their aurguement is stupid. That would be like saying you truck was parked in a parking lot and was struck by someone else parking. It is a parking lot, parking is legal, it's half your fault for being there! Insurance companies pi** me off with their stupidity!

Regardless of what the insurance companies and their attorneys work out, the main thing is that no one was hurt!!! Thank God that everything turned out that way.....I was in an accident once and the teenager got out and started wondering about the rims on his car, rather than if everyone was okay!!! I wondered to myself, life is simple "Love people, not things. Use things and not people. Try to never confuse that and you'll do alright." Glad to hear everyone is okay John. This ordeal may take a year or so to work out.....take care!
