Down on I15 here in utah theres this 80 mph hour section of about 100 miles. Get down there and hit a blizzard so I slow down 45-50 MPH. This expedition with 6 children in it driven by the dad come flying past. Gets just ahead of me and looses it. Spins 180 slides backward into my lane. I had locked it up but could not avoid. He got the ticket and all. I be needing a new bumper & grill for sure maybe hood and fender repair to..

 

Looks like your airbag didn't go off so that's a good thing Hope everyones ok!

 

stern words?
if it was me yes.

 

Man that sucks, - glad no one was hurt. His insurance should cover it. Specially if he got a driving to fast for conditions ticket.

The Fender and Hood look okay from the pic. Might need to bend your bumper bracket back on the one side.

You can fix it yourself for under $500, -it looks like. Using some used parts.

Sucks jethat, that could have easily went worse. - Glad it didn't.

 

Nope No air bags. Drove it home after the wrecker driver pulled the bumper away from the tire. It aint drivable really though. It was OK on the freeway drove straight and all but the bumper rubs the Right tire when I turn left... Hoping I can get them to buy me a couple tires to. the one got gashed up a bit.

 

I'll be letting the insurance fix it. Try to get me a rental to. Me and the old lady was headin for Vegas to meet up with the Daughter inlaw and my grandson. Had to come home and will do it again tomorrow..

 

Good to see there were no injuries. That could have turned out a lot worse. I swear, someone with their family in the car driving like that... unbelievable. I believe this guy, considering he had just switched lanes was trying to accelerate after a car moved over and lost traction in icy conditions.. i don't know the outcome or if there were children but this is the kind of shat people do. Warning, graphic..

Glad your ok, looks like ford held up aginst another ford! But that video is freaking wild. WOW.

 

Yea when the roads get like that it's easy to loose it. Stopping fast, -forget it.

The guy having kids in the vehicle and driving like that shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel again, - ever....

 

Yea glad no one was hurt. I may go a lil faster in the snow than I should, but never to the point of stupid.

 

Yeah that was the crazy thing right there all them kids in the car. I wanted to go off on the guy so I just didnt say anything to him. Over confident amd probably inexperienced driving in the conditions. Thought his expedition could handle it..

 

My thoughts exactly!

Glad to hear that no one got hurt in that mess. 'Stuff' can be replaced. It does suck to have to deal with the aftermath of a wreck, though. Sorry it happened, man.

 

Sounds like the typical ignorant 4wd attitude - they have no concept that 4wd doesn't help you ONE BIT with steering and stopping. It just helps you GO.

 

I would try and get as much as you possibly can out of the insurance claim. Paint job Maybe some new steering components

 

That'll buff out

I'm glad you're okay bud I don't understand why people still live up there with that silly snow.

Make sure they buy OEM components. I have some Keystone fenders and bumper and crap and it doesn't fit worth a darn. Hood looks good, so thats a plus.
