Truck was rear-ended today

My truck was hit from behind today on the freeway. There was heavy rain and traffic was stopped and the guy smacked into me (something about Socal drivers and the rain, you'd swear it was snow). He mangled my rear bumper and crunched the driver's side rear corner panel. It looks like one of the leafs on my TSB pack is also broken and the tailgate mount is bent. I'm taking it to the appraiser tomorrow morning. One upside is I should be able to get a black bumper as a replacement. BTW, the bedliner on the bumper didn't hold up for crap!!

 

Oh man I'm sorry!! That happened to me a couple months ago but it did way more damage to the ass that hit me than it did my truck. Good luck with getting it fixed!

 

On his car, it destroyed the area around the passenger headlight and the hood. He pretty much went under the truck. At least no one was hurt. Traffic had stopped because of an accident about 100 yards up ahead (multi-car with one car was flipped over).

 

lol ya forgot to say I'm glad your ok!

 

That really sucks!!
...glad your ok though...
I hope Everything gets taken care of quickly and professionally!

 

I hope it gets fixed soon man! Good luck with the black bumper!

 

Sorry to hear that bro, hopefully you'll get her fixed soon enough!

Stay safe on rain and snow people!

 

Oh man! Sorry to hear it. Hope it gets all fixed up soon and that you get the bumper you want!

 

sorry to hear...my truck was also rear ended 1 week from today and it was also raining. Your damage is way much more than mines though cuz I got hit driving in the city. I hope it works out well for you with your insurance company!

 

Rob, sooo sorry to hear (and see) about the accident. I was on the road before the rain this morning. Glad you weren't pushed into the car in front of you. You must have given yourself extra space in front for such an occasion. What happened to the sensor?

 

sucks when that happens, but the important thing is that no one got hurt, hope you get to fix your truck fast.

 

damn Rob..............sorry to see/hear that happened!!! but yeah.......black bumper time!!

 

Horrible thing to have happen this time of year. Glad everyone is OK. Good luck on the repair.

 

smells like an aftermarket bumper..Hmmm. But its good to see no one hurt

 

At least it wasn't a drunk driving illegal alien who tried to run after hitting your month old truck. In other words, I can (sort of) relate.

 

That sucks, time to upgrade!

When we first got that rain a couple weeks ago i went to google maps and looked at the traffic in the San Diego Area. It had 14 car accident symbols at once!

 

whered it happen at??

so no trail run?

 

Bummer that happened and glad you are ok. Our trucks can be fixed and hope yours goes just the way you plan!

 

Damn rob that sucks man, doesnt look like you will be able to make the meet i agree with you on the socal driver thing its like it never rains and when it does accidents galore happen.

 

Rob, you better make the meet! Send in that truck for repairs after the meet then. Just in case you get stuck in a rut. You can't damage the rear bumper any more than it is right now.
