Default Accident

Well as I was sleeping I was awoke by my doorbell with a neighbor telling me that somebody hit my truck. I was parked along the curb in front of my house. It turns out that a car came down the hill, could not stop and slid into my truck, it pushed the CUCV enough for it to get pushed into my Ford Explorer which was parked about 1-2 feet behind it. The car had no tread on the front two tires (another reason the kid driving could not stop, and the roads were wet) Anyway it's almost 2am and I figured writing this would help me calm down some. Just what I needed since I am due to PCS/move to FT Lewis at the end of the month, now I have two vehicles that need to go into the shop. The damage to the Ford is only cosmetic, The CUCV appears fine but its not. There is some tie-rod/arm damage upon a closer examination. I will take some pics of that tomorrow in the daylight. Oh I also think the frame or least the driver's quarter panel shifted a small amount as when I opened the driver's door it was binding and rubbing a bit. Here are the pics.

Atleast the money he saved by not buying tires went to the cool graphics on his doors! Is that weed and a lighter on the driver's floor board?

Looks like CUCV=1, car= 0 to me Hope the damage isn't too bad and that the guy actually has insurance. Just think what could have happened if you drove a civic and be happy no one got hurt.

Well if it is the Police missed it when they looked around. He admitted drinking but was not charged, just cited with driving to fast and also the bald tires.

Yeah..... wow though really the kid plowed into a steel truck that has been lifted with 36" tires the only thing worse he driven into would have been a concrete wall ya know?

I suppose he has/had insurance? That would be my main concern.

Yes, he did at least that is good, and he was not hurt..........really though the kid picked the worst thing on the entire street to run into lol
Did you notice the deflated airbag?

Yeah, I saw that. Not too concerned if he was hurt. Your truck could have been a minivan with a family in it.
