Well finally got around to resizing the pictures, this happened on the 9th.
There was a dump truck stopped waiting to make a left, a GMC Sierra pick up behind him, and them my dad behind the GMC in the F-150. A little blue ion with 3 girls in it came up doing 50-55 and never slowed down, they ran right underneath our truck. Put our truck into the air and my dad came down nose first into the Sierra.
Amazingly everybody was okay. The girl driving the ion was 16 and had her liscense less than a year. And happened to be our neighbors across the street.
I got there after they had taken the girls away in the ambulance, and took the ion away. My dad said there was no front end left on the ion.
Well dealing with the insurance company was a bitch. They wouldn't accept liabily for the first few days, and thus we couldn't get a rental car covered by them. Then we could have had the truck fixed, but it would have been a full used frame, used bed cause that style is discontinued, and basically would've been a frankinstein of a truck. My dad didn't want it back like that so we just had it totalled.
Well then they accept liability and total it and everything, give us a rental, and then tell us we can only have the rental for a week cause they cut us the check for the new truck. And they claimed they knew my dad had access to a work vehicle. Well then we explained to them his work vehicle is the 26,000 lb ComEd line truck he drives home when hes on call. But still we only get a week to find a new truck in our price range that my dad wants.
Our truck was loaded minus the leather : ( which my dad didn't want anyway. It was pristine, not a scratch on it. And now because some twit smashed into him we have to shell out more money for a new one cause they cut the check for what the old one was worth at the time.
So when all is said and done there was a totalled ion, a totalled F-150 and a Sierra with $12,000 worth of damage on it.
So only upside is now we have a 2006 F-150 FX4, its a hella sweet truck.
To top it off...the girls parents went out and bought her another nice ion. I know if I totalled the GA and it was my fault, my parents sure as hell wouldn't buy me another car.
And also this sucks cause my mom or I was going to be getting a new 'stang this year :(
Well after all my rambling heres the damages. Doesn't look too bad until you see the frame. It was twisted and bent in a lot more places that we couldn't get good pics of also.
