Had a wreck today in the Teg. Needless to say I'm a believer in airbags now. Someone in a ranger cut in front of me when I was doing about 55 on the way home. I had to choose between oncomming traffic, him or a ditch. I tried to hit the ditch, but he gunned it to try and beat me and I hit him head on. I remember the car hitting and then the car being airborne and turning 180 degrees. I jumped out and couldn't breathe. I have cuts on my hands and knees, a nice goose egg on my knee. a very large bruise on my chest from the air bags and seat belt and little cuts allover. Also lots of stinging from the airbag ****. I'm very lucky to be alive, and if you dont' wear a seatbelt and have an airbag check this **** out.

 

More pics I took today.

good lord that **** looks rough. glad to hear you arent terrible beat up from it. hope the ranger gets his punishment.

It's a good thing that you're still here!

As for the car..., got bondo?!?

 

dannnngggg good thing your ok

 

I'm fine, have cuts and brusies, and a case of whiplash which I am taking some good stuff for.

Someone was watching out for me for sure.

I'm waiting on his insurance to contact me

 

damn man i went through the same thing, I'm glad you're ok! cars are replaceable, people aren"t!

 

wow, definitely a lucky guy that you came out with not much damage. what did the guy in the truck say? "not my fault!"?

 

Don't wait. Contact them yourself and stay on their backs. I had some 17 year old girl hit me, give me ins. info and all. No call for 4 days.

I finally called them and when they finally tracked down the info turns out she was uninsured - gave me bogus #s and all. My insurance covered it, though. She'll pay for it one way or another.

CN: Call them and stay on their backs to get your $ promptly. Don't be surprised when they start jerking you around. When all else fails, threaten to get a lawyer.
