    Some jackass crossed the divider into the HOV lane as I was traveling at 65 MPH. For me, the crash was unavoidable. I will miss that truck. RIP, old friend.

    Thinking about replacing it with this 2010 Toyota Tacoma 2WD Double Cab PreRunner SR5.

    Dang, glad you are ok. That is one of my worries when driving in the HOV lane.

    Glad you are okay. Tacomas are awesome trucks when it comes to safety. I was just in a crash up that was similar and no where near my fault.
    I hope everything works out for you.

    By crossing the divider he meant the other driver crossed into the HOV lane where there isn't an entrance/exit opening. Same way traffic. He probably rear ended the guy.

    Sorry to see the damage to your truck but glad to hear you are okay.

    If you rear-ended the car in front of you, does that mean you got charged for hitting the car even if he cut into the HOV lane?

    Congrats on the 2010. Enjoy it!
