Default bro and sister wreck 56k go to the middle east

my bro wrecked my dads car the friday before x-mas near the alhambra hospital. he works there. he was driving and a 07mustang yielded for some peds and my bro didnt see. adjuster says totaled. air bags gone








sister wrecked last night on her way back to UCR. she got cut off, slammed the brakes and basically hydroplaned from the carpool lane to the nxt lane on the right. as a expedition was merging to that lane. says she spinned out and stop facing traffic. she then turned the car back on and went to the shoulder. i just got back from riverside and left her the tahoe and drove the car back. airbags also gone. oh and on my way back i found the front bumper on the freeway so i picked it up and its on the back seats right now

if we cant fix it right i am going to give her my malibu and get my f-bod sooner than i thought

I was gonna say something like: looks like driving ability is genetic.

But accidents suck, glad to hear everyone's alright.

thx... yeah i think it is genetic. they both drive alike.. my mom and i drive alike... and my other bro and dad drive alike... lmao..

she would have been fine but as she hydroplaned to the right the expedition hit the front corner and caused her to spin out.

full coverage on the 02, but liability only on the 98

I began driving with two feet like my dad, then I realized it was too much work...

Thank God she's lucky, that Expedition could have split her in two.

yeah, i know, thank. im proud of her tho. the car turned off, she restarted it and pulled to the shoulder. this joker in the expedition stayed in the middle of the freeway, and forced the firefighters to close the freeway even tho b4 they got there, he could have moved over like my lil sis.

i hate it when people do that. if you have an accident, move over to the side so as to not block traffic

Yeah, when I got rear-ended in my Dodge Magnum, the CHP came up and told me to move it to the shoulder (I was blocking 2 lanes). I said "impossible", he said "get in and try or I'll push it off". I pointed to the snapped rear axle. I doubt that was the case with the Expedition.
