Default My poor car

My poor car.Last night heading home from tennis a crazy woman turned left right in front of me. She was driving a Suburban and made the turn from 2 lanes to the right of the left turn lanes and floored it. I stood on the brake and blamo. Then she drives the wrong way on Crown Valley into the 7-11 and back out onto Golden Lantern. She pulls into a residential track were her car dies and she abandons it. The police caught her and took her to the hospital. They didn't tell me what her injuries were.. She is charged with felony hit and run.

Don't sign any liability papers waivers or settlements from her lawyer or insurance company till you see a doctor, and even then wait. That was a had hit. Was she drunk or something? On meds?

Well, that does suck. Sounds like your OK. Glad to hear. Your going to hurt more today and tomorrow. Keep on top of that. Any story you can tell, is a good story.
Your good steed, did its job. That looks to be a large debris field.
She made a run for it? That's crappy of her.
I'm assuming the photo was taken a little latter. Looks empty.

Glad you made it out safely. I hope she goes away for a long time. Sad that there is one less 911 in the world. .

Wow, I'm so sorry for your situation. I hope you don't suffer anything long term. You should take a few days off work if you can.

I'm sure her insurance is inadequate if anything. You should talk to a lawyer before signing anything. Even your insurance is out for themselves unfortunately.

Glad to see you posting, must be feeling at least ok. Sounds like no serious injury. Sorry to hear about your car but glad it held up as well as it did against one of the biggest on the road.
Good Luck
