Umm needless to say im lucky to survive a crash like this...

Im on the road (glades road) turning onto Cain blvd (right turn) going about 40 mph... slowing down when a truck of some kind rear ends me and sent me hydroplaning into a wall accross to the street.

Now this is pretty bad, whats worst is the driver of the truck ran away. Luckily i have 2 witnesses that saw the whole thing to back up the story (actually i didn't know it was a truck till they told me....)

I dont think my baby is ok.. ill get pics today and ill post them up here later when i can walk ( i think i majorly sprained my ankle)
 
I'm glad you're OK. Do you have uninsured motorist coverage or gap? Just curious how all the legalities will work out. Sorry to hear about the speed. You should be able to pick up another low mileage one for a decent price nowdays.
 
yea ill post as soon as imagestation uploads it
... the truck driver ran away but some bmw was supposedly chasing it
and yes ill hit it stragith on

wow for a second there I thought you were female and pregnant, and that you thought you were going to lose the baby :eek:
 
Looks like you may be starting fresh with a new car. Sorry to hear about it, but glad you're relatively unscathed.
 
Damn that sucks but at least your ok. By the way where was the accident cause I live right around boca?
 
Yeah, the thing about the baby scared me the same way at first. Really sorry to hear it, and glad you're okay. That's the main thing. As callous as this may sound, if it's totaled, find out what wrecking yard it winds up in and post the info in the "dead msp's" thread. You or someone else may need parts from it one day.

Sorry in advance for the following threadjack (and I'll be posting more about this in another section soon), but I've been away from the forums for over a week. On April 3rd I lost my aunt, uncle and youngest cousin in a horrific head-on collision on Hwy. 193 in NW Georgia. The middle and oldest boys survived and will be okay, however physically and emotionally scarred. A 22 yr. old in an S-10 driving really fast (and like an idiot), cut fully into their lane trying to make a curve and plowed them.

Now, more than ever, I think about what can happen just driving along and minding your own business. I'm glad you are safe and I hope you don't have to go through something like this ever again.

Be safe people, please.
 
I'd like to recommend everybody read a book called "Drive To Survive" by Curt Rich.

It's short, and it's an easy read. But it gives you a lot of tips about defensive driving, always knowing about your surroundings, etc.

It also teaches you some crazier stuff like 180 degree foward & backward spins, how to properly ram a car, and the like (only to be used in true emergency situations like when your life is in danger.....although doing a bootlegger's hairpin in a parking lot is fun :) )

Best of all it's only like $15.
