F-150 vs 2500 HD-- Both Lose

When your dad runs a stop sign driving your F-150 and finds a Chevy 2500HD going through the same intersection, this is what can happen....



and this....




Luckily both my Dad and both guys in the Chevy came out of the accident unhurt. Now it's just going to be a matter of dealing with the Insurance stuff.

Looks/sounds like they both did their jobs keeping the occupants safe... but damn tell him if he wants to test out the offset frontal impact.... not to be testing it out with yours!!!!!!

Hope insurance isn't to bad of a headache. You've got enough already.
Did that just happen today?

The A arms are notoriously weak in the gm trucks. Warehouser in WA state keeps there chebies on hi way only because they had problems with ball joints coming out.

Pull that 4-sale sign out of the truck before the insurance man see's it. They will try to offer bare minimum (wholesale) if your lucky. Pull the sign and tell them this was your baby... and stand your ground and don't let them off the hook if they total it....

that or get a lawyer involved. Mine was hit about a month ago and the other guy's insurance wouldn't return my calls or send an adjuster out for the first 3 weeks. The lawyer got them talking within 20 minutes, and I got a damn nice settlement as well. Best part is our lawyer is a great guy, and doing this pretty much for free, I'm going to have to pick him up a good bottle of wine or something for it.
