Wrecked my baby , miss her already
hello all,
do you think my baby is totaled? 2018 F150 5.0 10speed not even a year old. Was cut off and hit the car at 40 mph roughly in front of me. All front damages. Still runs ... hit square . Although my beat up as my head hit the steering wheel since my airbag didn’t deploy but seat belt tensioner did but since I’m 6’ 7” 410lbs the seats belt was a little low allow my torso to arc severely. Back is messed up as well. No fractures thank god but not good. Got to where a collar and have a mild concussion...
please help stop freaking out. This was my son and mine dream truck an we both are crushed. I was only inside coming from work my son is 9.

Wow 40 mph is fast, I’m glad you were able to walk away from that. I’ve seen trucks with less damage get totaled but either way the insurance company will make it right. I hope you get better soon.

I was changing lanes with turn signal when a person in the center turn lane decided to floor it into the lane was going into so I switched back and couldn’t make it far right to go into the grass so squared it up while standing on the brake. Officer said I did the right thing and was forced into this by the careless other driver who didn’t stop. The Jeep got pushed like 20ft so that saved it from a lot of damage . You can see how it got lifted up and was on my truck. The underside of the Jeep is messed up big time. The driver wanted to drive it home and the officer showed her all the damage and the exhaust hanging.....

yes and no air bag deployment makes it worse! Officer noted it on the police report as he said for sure it should have deployed and would have avoided my head hitting the steering wheel.

I live in a no fault state... Michigan. Literally no one at fault and I have accident foregiveness with State Farm so i’’m good. Just the totaled or not is the question.. hoping it’s not totaled!
things are different hear but our insurances are high because of it. If it’s totaled I’m getting a 2018 Raptor I just found at my dealership I only buy from. Same color just Raptor...
just looking for peoples experience with such damage. The last accident I was 21 years ago where My mustang was so totaled as it rolled 7 times and looked like a Indy car wreck.

ouch...only way to tell if its totaled is after the estimate is written, and that value depends on state/ insurance company. Let them do their job. We can't tell by pictures
Glad you are mostly ok. Truck did its job. Don't get too caught up in the airbag not firing, The truck didn't feel the impact was severe enough so it only fired the pretensioner
