She decided to try to make an illegal u turn across 4 lanes, then plowing into my steelie.

And then the damage to her Lexus.

We were doing 50 (Speedlimit on this street), all things considered it could have been a lot worse. We're guessing the srut and control arm will need to be replaced, and definitely the rim. Ah well, these things happen.

Luckily the hit didn't flip your car over. A U-turn across 4 lanes...?

6 weeks old car, 2 month old baby and wife. A lady in a Ford truck ran a red light.

E was totaled, but family fine. Thanks to the great Element who took the hit and kept everyone safe. HATS OFF to the E.

We just replaced her with a new one just like it.

Bummer

Sorry to here about the accident, I like your attitude towards it. I think I would have not taken it so well. Glad to here everyone was fine though.
I kinda like the way your E sits, with the 215/70/15's on it. Looks tough,low to the ground with a wide base...looks good. How do it ride, how do you like it?

Glad to hear you are all okay.

 

[ricepuddin]

Wow glad to hear both groups are ok!

Hats off to the E's. Imagine the damage to a caravan!

She is sooooo going to pay for her 'convenient' illegal u-turn and is already at fault. Good thing it wasn't worse, and glad you're ok.

I really hate people who pull off illegal u-turns. More and more people think it's OK to do it because other people are doing it.

Glad to hear it's not too bad!
And I agree, you're taking it much better than I would too!!

Hope everything works out ok!

Well I didn't take it too well with the insurance company who didn't want to total her out. $13,000.00 worth of repairs. 1,300 miles on it.

But as of yesterday, the whole thing is over. After lots of conversations, they gave me $24.00 less than I paid [plus some extra for the freak out we went through with the baby on board]

Found the exact same car, same price, Got her yesterday.

[yes I did check everything to be sure it wasn't the one I had before. it crossed my mind too! Only a week after I signed over the title of the wrecked, no time for repairs].

Most importantly, the Family didn't get hurt, glass everywhere, but no cuts or scratches on anyone.

Congrats on the second new car formulabrand. She's a beauty. Those Elements take to crashes really well. They may get totaled but the people inside are always able to walk away unhurt.
