Killed a focus

Literaly i killled a focus; last nite i was sittin in front of a red light in a turning lane and a focus stops right beside me on the right lane which goes straight and which had a green light. he stoped to either to talk to me or awwww at my ride right before he got hit from behind by a land rover; i dont know how fast that rover was goin but the ford shot up in the middle of the intersection. i got out of my car and asked him if he was okay and he said "go away" so i did that.
no im not raggin on a focus but typed this so i can share it 2 sombody

focus's are some of the ugliest cars i've ever seen. My dad tried to get me to get one when i was looking for a car. There was no way that was happening though. I'm much happier with a civic than i ever would've been with that.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

That's **** man you could help him or something you could be a state witness but rather he let you out of his sight. Maybe he never heard a law that leaving the scene is consider a crime or a felony. i dont know man correct me if Im wrong I dont know much of a State Law

He said, "Go away!"? That's weird. I guess he was pissed off at you.

Nah, I don't think it could be his fault just for being there at a green light... well, I guess it depends on how long he was there or something, but he can't really be at fault because the driver who hit him was supposed to have been paying attention, and obviously, they weren't. Damn, that's really f'cked up. Just think if the SUV tried to avoid it and went LEFT... it would've been your car! Still the driver's fault. I hear a lot of accidents that happen with people who own SUVs are women (and I'm NOT TRYING TO MAKE A POINT TO ANYTHING) but was the driver a woman?

i agree, it wouldnt be the focus drivers fault unless he waited a really long time at the light (and he would probably still be well under 50% at fault)

The Guy in the Land Rover must have been so in awe of your ride that he forgot to stop and hit the Focus. That's what I like to believe. One less Focus in the world, I can deal with that.
LOL

I would LOVE to see that Focus. Especially if it was a hatch. I'm just curious!

It's the SUV's fault... what if there was a pedestrian crossing right where the Focus was at or in front of the Focus? Either way, the cause would be the SUV cuz the SUV wasn't FOCUSED.
