Car Most Likely a Write Off
 
**EDIT** Pics Below

Well tongiht at about 5:30 i was driving accross lethbridge and passed an intersection where a dum kunt decided to turn left in front of me on a solid green as soon as i entered the intersection, we couldnt even say a word before impact, i was going approximatly 50 km/h and my buddy said i swerved and breaked hard but still creamed her(i dont remember the point of impact, just spinning around and pitch blackness)....

her vehicle( a dodge caravan) was spun around doing a 180 while mine did at least one full spin and came to rest facing the opposite direction i had come from with both air bags deployed and prolly 10 meteres down and to the side of the van.

My buddy and i both have minor injuries(cuts, bruises, sore necks etc and the lady driving the van went to the hospital even though she complained of only the same injuries:_please:

she has since been charged by the cops but my car is pretty much ****ed, my cell phone that was in my cup holder was in pieces which shows how hard the impact must have been, seat belts are ripped, mirrors and the fornt end are detroyed, somehow my passeneger rear wheel well was caved in and the wheel was dangling altho besides that area there was no damage on that side:confused:

sorry for the giberish and spell spelling, hopefully it made some sense

Damn man, sorry to hear that :(

I've had to deal with my share of shyte Alberta drivers as well. Hope you don't have to deal with any stupid insurance hassle. Good to hear you're not hurt

dang.. shitty deal man.. Sucks ballz.. Well think of it as a good by to the old baby.. and hello to the new one.. Hope the transition didn't cost too much money since ya wont get much back from any mods done to the car.

kornsined 03-11-2006 01:29 AM

chrisgushue 03-11-2006 01:24 PM

CdnSilverStreak 03-12-2006 02:22 PM

Holy shit Chris, are you serious? I'm glad your alright buddy! Who else was with you?

chrisgushue 03-12-2006 02:53 PM

just dax, ive got scrapes and bruises but everything should heal fine, starting physio tmrw hopefully

Blue-Wolf 03-12-2006 09:41 PM

After seeing the car like that I'm seriously surprised you only walked away with minor cuts and shit. Man are you guys lucky.

chrisgushue 03-13-2006 12:12 AM

i know man my mom said the same thing...im just thankful we were obth wearign seatbelts or i prolly would not be typing this today...

RangerMan 03-20-2006 12:56 PM

Even though you don't want to be in a crash, with a head on, you have the engine to protect you (somewhat), though the lady in the Van is lucky, if you were a truck, she could have died..easily. Sucks man..what is your car gonna be worth then (write off wise). You know any mention of being "sore" will help money wise.

chrisgushue 03-24-2006 05:32 PM

well my car was appraised at 28000 a year ago, and damage has been estimated at 25000 just by a visual appraisal, so im sure its a writeoff, and im expecting around 26xxx due to depreciation etc...and im already going to physio and my neck/back do hurt like a bitch so i better be compensated, but a lawyer form my dads firm is working on it so its in good hands:)

kornsined 03-24-2006 11:12 PM

I hope none of your injuries are long term.

chrisgushue 03-25-2006 07:09 PM

thanks, me too:(
