Bad Head-on Collision Accident, and I walked away!

[dvrgz]

Yeah. This was actually right outside my apartment. I was turning into our parking lot, and the other person ran the red light. You know the area here?

I’m in Lakewood. Let me know if I can help in any way. Glad you’re okay

Do you have any information as to how fast both the other driver, and yourself were traveling at the time of impact? Very curious. None the less, pre your comments -- you walked away. People have died from less of an impact, so I'd consider this a very fortunate experience despite the crash. None the less, hopefully you'll be feeling well soon. That's quite a shock to the body, of course.

I don’t know the exact speed he was going. But I was actually stopped at the moment of impact. There were other cars in that driveway I was pulling into, and one of them started backing up for unknown reasons. So I had to stop mid-turn. About a half second later, I experienced the impact. All the damage was due to the other truck’s movement as he blazed right through the red light.

I know how you feel. Back in the early 1980s, I purchased my first new truck. I was on my way home with it the day of the purchase, and a vehicle crossed the center line and hit me head on, totaling my truck with about 12 miles on the odometer.

Other than the trauma of a crash and any injuries, there’s that sickening feeling of watching a brand new vehicle destroyed.

Hope ya heal up and come out ok on the financial side.
