Well earlier this week some lady decided my work truck didn't look right. So she changed it for us.
T-Boned at 35 mph and I got a front row view. I looked over a half second before she hit us.
If you look at her back passenger fender you can see a tire inprint from us spinning around and hitting her with our back tire.
And a picture of the control arm. Tin can comes to mind.

The van that hit us......Was the exact same as the one that picked us up at the body shop to get a rental.

Yeah Thank God everyone was alright. So far just a tender shoulder for me. Thank you for asking.

It has me mentally twisted. She had no idea she was coming to a red light. Never hit the brakes at all.

Never worried about the truck. It WAS wrecked nothing I could do would change that. Insurance takes care of that.

Glad I was in a Ram!!!

Wow! Glad you are "ok" and hope the tender shoulder is the maximum extent of your injuries.
I wonder is she was texting or was otherwise distracted. Was anyone else in the van with her?

Soccer Mom in a minivan not paying attention?!
I've never heard of that happening!

Likewise, I'm very glad you made it out ok.

Well, glad you're alright--but driving in this country is becoming a full contact sport. Too many self absorbed drivers ignorant of laws, or willfully disregarding them. And that's before we consider all the people who are licensed that may never have learned to drive properly in their home country. :mad:
