Car crash...

[Scott & Lai 12]

Today started out ok, but that only lasted till about 5 minutes after I left our parking lot on the way to work. A guy pulled out of a side street and made a left turn right in front of me. I slammed on the brakes, but he was too close; the left front of my Element hit his left rear bumper area as he passed. He pulled over, and I made a u-turn to park behind him. He had very little damage on his car (an Expedition), but mine had lots. The left headlight assembly disintegrated, the left front panel was peeled back against the driver door, the hood won't open, the radiator is leaking, the front firewall appears to be pushed back some, and the driver door doesn't open as easily as it should. The other guy had no license, no insurance, and no registration. I called 911, and the sheriff's dept. arrived quickly. Apparently, the guy bought the car from a friend and just didn't have the registration yet. But since he was driving without a license or insurance, his car was impounded.

This is the first new car I've ever owned; it's not two years old yet, and we still have about $15k to pay on it.

Yikes, sorry... good to hear no one was hurt though, as others have said.

I'm glad no one was hurt. That's the main thing. I'm sorry about your car. I had a brand new car that was hit two weeks after I bought it. Only it was a hit and run so it was really infuriating. I know how you feel.

A vehicle can be replaced and/or repaired. Thank the God above no one was hurt. Im sorry to hear that this happened.

That sucks.

Happened to us just over 2 years ago - old car was totalled by an SUV driver who ran a red light. Had literally just finished paying for the car - with depreciation we got barely enough to cover a deposit on a new car.

I kiss my uninsured motorist property damage policy when I read this.

Sorry about your car.

Oh Scott I am sorry to hear about that car crash. The damages sounds like it takes time to fix but we thankful that you are not hurt.

You still go to the VJ party later right ?

[no name 1]

Damn that sucks. Good for you calling 911 & getting hsi car impounded though.

Now what happens with insurance? I had to sue the guy when I got hit by an uninsured driver.

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

Glad no one was hurt. Uninsured motorist stink.

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Oh man, I'm sorry Scott, but good thing no one was injured. Did this happen late at night? At least the guy stopped...some don't. Hope that your insurance will go after him. Your Element may be totalled.

[JVKn'CVO 11]
