Default RiP Truck :(:(:(:(

Just got home from getting dropped off by the police

Truck had a bit of a run in with a cliff side tonight .

I was driving around a sharp S curve and i was in the right lane ( single lane each way ). I came around the coenr to see a guy flying and cut into my lane so he could make the turn, i immedietly swerve as my reaction so i dont hit him head on and kill him and end up in the shoulder on the cliffside and my pass wheel got torn off, after that i had no steering and a rock about 12 feet high infront of me... and i hit it..

AS far as i saw from them scraping my truck off the rock my wheel and all of my passenger side suspension was about 100 yrds behind my truck my headlight was missing aand my fender was touching my pass door... so it might be the end of my truck ..

il take pix when i go to the insurance yard

Aw man! Are you okay? It's a shame about your truck, luckily no one was hurt but what a shame, always an **** that is the cause of these issues.

I hate going into the parking lots here, people come flying in them at 70KM out of the blue with no blinkers and fly around them like no tomorrow, I can't say how many times I almost lost my truck if I wasn't quick to counter/react.

Good luck, hopefully she isn't a write off.... Maybe insurance will be enough to get a new one, but it still wont be the same thing.

The two most important things are that you are ok, and you have good insurance.
