Default I was hit by a truck... (details and pics)

here are the posts i made on srtforums.com:

well, i was involved in some road rage, and after that brake checking, i came to a complete stop of the truck, got out, and walked up towards him.

then i hear him gun the engine and the tires start squealing. all i could think of was "OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT!!!" i tried to get out of the way, but he NAILED me with the front of his truck, and i went flying into the guardrail. i rolled under the guardrail just in time to see his rear tire flying past. he then smashes into my car, but gets stuck in between my car and the guardrail. he tries to push through (he's flooring it spinning the tires), but when he realizes he's stuck, he floors it in reverse and almost hits me again.

scared shitless, i jump back in my car, and when i see him accelerating again, all i could think of was "GET THE OUT OF HERE." so i floor it. when i look in my rear-view, i see a car following me... the car chases me for a good 5min. i finally lose them, and after calling my friend, who talked some sense into me, i drove back to the accident.

there were maybe 6 or 7 cops, and the guy in the f150 was still there. he had a flat. the car that was chasing me was a black s55 amg mercedes. it was a couple in their 40s maybe, and i talked to them. they were chasing me because they wanted to get my plates to make sure i was ok and everything. she told me "I thought you were dead the way that guy hit you." from what it sounds like, i flew about 15-20ft before hitting the guardrail.

there were maybe 5 or 6 other cars that stopped as witnesses, and they all agreed that i was so ing lucky for being able to walk away with only a sore ass and busted knuckles/elbows.

my car is scratched the entire right side, the door caved in, and the antenna and side-view mirror were ripped off.

the faggot got to drive home because the DA couldnt decide or some shit, because of conflicting stories and because it was a case of road rage - misdemeanor. the motherer tried to kill me ni his ing truck, i dont see how that's just road rage.

anyway, drew (myfault) came out with a friend's camera and took some pics.
Centaur, you're not the first to ask... Others wanted to know what lead up to it.

It all started off with something as trivial as him pulling off of a side street in front of me, and cutting it close. Naturally, I got close and tailgated him. Being the prick that he is, he slammed on the brakes and came to a complete stop in the middle of the intersection. As soon as he moved forward again, I did the same to him, and we had a bit of road rage after that. It lasted maybe <1min and <1/8mi and was nothing more than a few brake checks and such.

I finally pulled into the right lane, stopped the car, and waited for him to make the next move. I forget what exactly he said, but he was definitely tempting me to get out of the car and do something. So I did. And as soon as I did, he tried to run me over.











In the last pic, just ahead of the point of impact of the truck, you can see skidmarks on the concrete, underneath the guardrail. They're from my pants, shoulder, and arm.

i really dont know why or how i was so lucky... you can see how close i was to where the truck hit the guardrail. his rear tire was seriously less than 1ft from my head


anyway, i tried to get a copy of the police report today but it hasn't been filed yet. i dont know what's gonna happen, but ive been told by everyone to sue him civil (if it turnd out to NOT be criminal), then sue the state for negligence

the guy nailed the guardrail hard enough to flatten his tire, so imagine if i was in between the bumper and the guardrail



and he kept telling the cops "im not worried about my truck. its scratched on both sides but im just worried about my kid"


so i yelled over at him "dont forget about the scratches on your bumper... you know, the ones from my ing BELT BUCKLE!!!!"

yeah police report usually takes about a week. you'd have to try and raise a criminal suit against him and when that ends.. go after a civil suit. but since he intentionally hit you, that is definitely battery and assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.. and with a proper lawyer, he will go to jail for that. as for a civil suit, you are pretty much 100% good for punitive damages... get a lawyer asap so you can get witness statements as early as possible, that'd be best while the whole ordeal is still fresh.. also you can use these statements at depositions to help your case since they can recall the details very clearly this early on. best of luck! btw, you're in LA area right? i know this phenomenal attorney, pm me if interested.. the guy is a legal genius!!! oh yeah.. sorry just one more thing.. go see a doctor like tomorrow, if you haven't already... and there are a few other things you should do immediately (just out of experience here...) to help build your case from the get go...
