Well, the ol' lady was in an accident yesterday. Some lady tried to beat a yellow light and didnt make it. Hit the wife broadside, right in the drivers door. Threw the D into a curb, spun it around, stopping 3 lanes over. Everyone's ok, though the ol' lady was/is real shook up. Don't know how much true damage there is, prolly wont total it. Which sucks, cause now we have a 'rebuilt' truck.
Whats the oil spot right here on the inside of the tire? I suspect its a busted brakeline......
This was taken from under the truck. IDK what the hell that is, any insight?
These were taken just the other day....
So, any analysis on the amount of damage there is? Hard to say from lookin at pictures, I know. Doesnt look to be any serious underbody damage, but thats from a very untrained eye.
Im just glad the wife was ok, besides the seatbelt "injuries" along the chest/shoulder. Deep down Im glad the bitch that hit her is ok too

Glad everyone is ok. The damage looks to be at least a couple thousand.

what kind of car hit her and how fast was she going?
those durangoes can take a hit
it looks definitely repairable.
i hate those people who try to run red lights. it really annoys me and they pust their luck way to far.
one time i was waiting at a stoplight and when the light turned green the car in front of me went. the car was already almost to the other side when this car came flying behind him going the opposite direction. i mean, come on, the light had been red for some time and even people were crossing the road. he came right in the middle of me and the other car. im glad i took my time when the light turned green.

same thing happened to me. the light turned green and i waited a sec then started going. as im in the middle of the intersection i see this car coming at me in the corner of my eye!! i slammed on my brakes and he swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid me. he would have nailed my right in my drivers door going 40-45 and i had my windows down. and all i got was a courtesy wave and "im sorry"

repairable? yes, but I think if you took it to the right place you could get it totaled. Just from the pics there is easily 8-10k in damage. Unfortunately its an 07 and hasnt depreciated that much so th value is probably in the 15-17k range. Yeah the oil spot looks like a busted brake line, and the bar under the spare tire looks like one of the not so necessary susupension braces. doesnt look too strong to begin with. I'm suprised the airbags didnt deploy, although it was a complete side impact so thats prob why.
Although I cant stand sue-happy people, this is a situation where you could probably get a few bucks outta the lady in court for being a MORON. Certainly enough to get a new durango in case this one doesnt get totaled. Best of luck man, keep us posted, and glad everyone was ok.

yup, there was one guy since it was a 2 lane road and all the people going the oppisite way were stopped two. on my direction, both sides were going. as i said before, the guy in front me was already pretty much across the road and the people going the opposite direction my way were about to enter my side of the road when this maniac came flying through. it could have been like a 5 car pile up if everyone didnt seem to be having a slow day
