    Hi guys
    New Years Eve ,in the afternoon,and old man on a four stop corner came and simply just ran into me.
    I think he had sun in his eyes,because he nevr slowed down,and i could nt beleive that even after a good 5 seconds i was immobilised,and he kept heading my ways,like i was nt there.
    So he collided the right side on the driver s front corner.
    It was my turn to go and after i started turning on the left side he just came from the other side like i was nt there,so he never touched the brakes until he hit my Tacoma.
    No one was hurt most important,though his car is pretty much in very bad shape,and probably will be call total wreck.
    I feel sorry for the old man which was 92 years old!
    Now my skid plate is all bended,also my door on the driver s side went down a little,but now the door does nt sealed like it used too ,my bumper,again on the driver s side is bended,and a bit crushed.
    Now this morning when i backed out to remove the snow,i noticed some yellow spots on the snow ,and i don t know what iy is?
    Is it my radiator? can it be a brake line?
    Next week,insurance will call me ,and i will take probably my Tacoma to Toyota dealer about that leaks under the truck that worries me..
    Thanks
    My regards
    Charly

    Sorry.
    Front corner.
    He had a 2002 Nissan Sentra,,i think,,
    He pretty much went middle and one foot from the inside end of the bumber.
    The chrome part is intact, even all my lights are OK,even the fogg light ,very close to where the whole impact was.

    Brake or power steering? (I don't know if the PS pump is on the driver's side).

    I was concerned last year about yellow spots under my truck. Finally after a few days I discovered it was my cat that was leaking. Not part of the exhaust system, my pet cat.

    Can we see some pictures of said accident??

    Well insurance called me and now that repair guy that does our work for accidents already ordered all the parts.
    New front bumper,new pre-runner ( small black grill above that bumber between that chrome one,also a new skip plate.)
    I can t wait for them to do that work,but yo look at the truck there is much ,unless you look upclose.
    All the best
