Bad day could have been worse, terrible accident
Got hammered today while waiting to turn left into a shell station. Vehicle behind me was doing the same. A young girl never saw us stopped until the last moment then went into oncoming traffic and hit the terminex truck. The terminex truck slammed her into my left side. He had enough energy to hit her cross two lanes of traffic and end up in the ditch. The terminex guy is hurt bad as is the girl in a Subaru. As far as I can tell the center post between the two doors saved my back from serious damage. I am grateful I am not seriously injured as is my family. I suspect she was texting or on the phone but who knows at tis moment, it will all come out sooner or later. Prayers to those two

Wow...glad to hear you and family are OK. Hope you are not sore in the coming days. Cosmetic damage...should be ok after your insurance does the right thing. Looks like you just got done detailing it.

Wow glad you're okay. That's some serious damage to the other cars.. Trucks are always replaceable, you aren't!

Wow thank god your okay and I hope the others will be okay. Over all compared to the other vehicles yours seems like it handled itself well. I am really shocked at the amount of damage done to the white F150. It's amazing how just a moment of distraction while driving can have such terrible results. Good luck with everything and I highly recommend going to a doctor to get looked at even if you feel your alright. I thought I would tough out my pain after my accident and that was 10 months ago and I am finally almost back to 100%.
