So unfortunately someone tried to cause lots of harm to my ram and lost...

An un-licensed 20y/o ran a stop sign causing this... Not his car, luckily the car had insurance and my truck has already been fixed.

believe it or not there is still $3500 in damage to my truck. The left side axle took most of the force and very little body damage, and no frame damage.

As you can see his car is far off worse than mine.

Damn that looks like it hurt.

I hope the process goes well and the truck gets fixed the right way

Ouch! Glad you are okay. Years ago a 17 yo kid was driving his dad's work truck and t-boned me after he failed to stop for a stop sign. Was driving a brand new 2002 Mazda millennia supercharged that I had for 2 weeks. Did 16000 in damage. Insurance would not total the car. Took 2.5 months to fix. Car was never right.

lol i love when someone who isn't licensed gets into an accident. You'd think if you were going to already break the law by not being licensed you would drive a little more careful.

-Backstory...an old friend took his brothers car when he was like 16 and crashed it about 3 blocks from his house. Seems to always happen

A 20 year old is not a kid - he is an adult. He should be severely punished, including jail time for this intentional act (driving without a license).

Happened to me in my old HD Ram, lucky I build it to be a beast, ended up taking his front end off as he t-boned me in the same way... Under age non licensed driver with no insurance. he was under 16 too, and out past curfew. he messed up my beadlock ring and minor dent in the side of the bumper, no body damage. Oh but he did crack my bushwacker pocket flare which bushwaker sent me a new set free.

Kid was trying to word his way out of it with the CHP when I walked up to give him all my info.... kid at that point realized he F'd up and was F'd when the CHP addresses me by my first name cause he knows me.. lol the look on the kids face was priceless.

Truck is already fixed. the longest thing to wait for was waiting for the axle and bearings form a ram dealer.

i waited to post this until their insurance accepted full liability which they did.

On top of this i made them replace $1000 worth of car seats that were in the back seat also. and they did.

Sorry to hear about your incident. Hopefully things will get fixed. A lot of drivers near me appear to be distracted meaning that driving is the second thing that they are doing when driving their vehicle.

Almost got side swiped a few days ago..

Excuse the language.

we have a couple intersections near me that are like that also where there are 2 right turn lanes getting off of a freeway. i also hope that doesnt happen to me at those ones.
