Default Another v bites the dust!!!!

I AM SOOOOO F-CKING PISSED!!! While driving east bound on Frankford passing the light at the underpass of The tollway in the right lane some IDIOT ran a red light heading northbound on the Service road of the tollway! I slammed on the brakes but he T-boned the car that was ahead of me in the center lane causing him to stop in my lane and the other car that WAS heading eastbound came to a stop facing westbound!!! Needless to say his back left tire destroyed my Bumper,Grill, 1 headlight, fenders, and hood as you can see from these pictures! I also had fluids pouring out too! Everyone is ok including the numb-nut that ran the red light (he was born in 1932 by the way!!! pissed) and we also had a witness that came forward to say that he ran a red light since the Douche bag was trying to say that it was yellow when he went thru it... I got out and ran over to the Car that got T-boned and they were all good... I then looked back at my car and wanted to cry...

Dude, that blows. It's good to hear that you were alright. As stated above, the car can be replaced a lot easier than your life. On another note, what is the extent of the damage? I saw that the airbag went off, but how much is there inside the engine bay? Good luck and hopefully it can be repaired.

I didnt check the damage under the hood as I felt that the insurance company would try and say that I did something wrong and that I wouldn't be covered since they couldn't prove what I did and what was already done due to the accident...

Sorry to hear about the crash. At least you were able to walk away from it unhurt.

Glad you are ok. File a diminished value claim with the other driver's insurance company. That way not only do they pay for your repairs but cut you a nice check for the value loss on your car. That way you can add a Maggie from Hendrix + a tune!!
