Default I was hit today

http://www.squeezer.net/gallery/view_album...=wreck5-16-2002

I was on a 4 lane road headed southbouth in the right lane and the guy in the maroon caddillac was in the left lane headed northbound. He tried to make a left turn accross both soundbound lanes into a driveway and was not paying attention and ran right into me. I couldn't get all the pics of my car because of the traffic and people standing around, but you can see part of my front end damage. Imagine the same damage on the passanger side, also and both wheels were slanted vertically to the right about 15 degrees (frame/suspension damage?). I couldn't open the hood to examine it because the hood was jammed by the quarterpanel.

I wonder if it will be a total or not

Glad that you're ok.

I hope the damage isn't too bad, and if it is, the insurance writes it off.

Thanks everyone. I'm fine, the only injury was from the air bag on my arm. It was a few red marks. The guy that hit me had his wife in the car, and they were both not hurt either. The accident was at low speed but it was a 4000 lb caddy versus a 2800 lb S2000

That looked like a pretty good collision from the looks of his car. At least your okay. Although, you might be sore tomorrow. I hope everything works out.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that! Glad your OK.

On a better note, check out the hood of the S, it still looks perfectly alligned. Thats impressive considering the damage that was done to the fenders and bumper.

Glad you're OK, Some people just can't see. Esp those in Cadillacs. The older the person and the bigger the Caddy, the worse they are driven. Sometimes I am behind them and they will drive off the road for .2 of a mile then swerve back on like they just ran off.
