    Hey everyone, i was in a wreck today. Im ok, a boy came across 441 and tboned me. I was the only one in my truck so Little man and Brittany are ok. Thank you for all the texts, snaps and calls. It sucks but im glad no one was hurt. Axle is broke and bent, frame is bent, drive shaft pulled from yolk, Suspension broke, wheels busted, passenger side doors are sealed shut, bed is shifted, front door had intrusion to the seat and broke plastic side on the passenger seat... But on the plus side the bed cover is completely undamaged haha..

    Thanks guys.. i think if my boy was in the truck with me, i may have ended up in jail tonight.. he never got out of the vehicle until his mom and dad got there.. he crossed 3 lanes of traffic and i was in the turn lane, spun me into the other side of 441... then tried to tell the cops and his mom that he wasnt going fast.. idk what im going to do yet, ill know what i decide after the insurance companies argue over it. Good thing is i had Gap Coverage on the loan. it will deff be another tacoma though

    fuckin A! looks like he sideswiped the hell out of you and caught on the rear axle. I wonder what the damage would of been with a good pair of sliders n a kick out.

    Either way, Glad you are OK, this is why we have insurance.

    Hope he wasn't texting, fucking hate seeing people on their phones when they drive. Girl back in my hometown just passed away from texting while driving and she went head on into a tree.

    Glad you're ok OP, hope you get a new good looking ride out of his stupid move.

    Had my Highlander totaled about 16 months ago. It was plush, had everything on it (AWD, leather seats, towing package, etc), everything but the DVD player. Couldn't get a DVD player because of the sun roof. I was totally bummed for a week. The towing company lost my car and there was all sorts of run around. Two weeks into it "his" insurance company (a kid, and yes his mother also came to the accident site), assumed 100% responsibility. Be sure you get "Tax" in the settlement it can add as much as 1 - 2 thousand $. Good luck.

    He would have done "frowned upon actions" to the boy that hit him and then just sat in his car instead of getting out and checking on the person he could have/ almost did, kill.
