TAR 71 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Well, last evening on my way to work just after 6 p.m.. I was on the interstate with my cruise set at 74 mph and went to take a drink of soda and got choked. I apparently must have blacked out because the next thing I know is that the airbag is in my face and having the sensation of being airborne. I ran off the road and hit a pile of dirt, logs and such that had come from a pond that was being worked on. When I hit the pile of dirt( I assume anyway) the airbag went off and woke me up, all I could see was dirt and debris flying through the air and a hell of alot of noise. The pile sent me airborne and the truck landed nose down on the embankment of the pond and then off into the pond( the pond was empty) where the nose struck bottom. I finally came to rest about 100 ft or so out in this empty pond, the pond is a good 15 ft deep. I'm lucky it didn't roll over, the pond embankment is very steep. I walked away without a scratch, other than a headache and a sore neck. The truck is another story, the frame is bent just behind the cab and it looks as though the front end is bent up and towards the pass side. Underneath the front looks bad also, everything is pushed back. Front bumper cover was wiped out, everything underneath the front end looks bent up. I'm so pissed right now, I can't hardly stand it. The main thing is that no one got hurt, but I feel terrible that I bent up my truck. I'm lucky that I went to the right off the road and not left towards oncoming traffic. I won't know anything really until Monday when the adjuster from the insurance company looks at it. This is going to be a long weekend waiting to see what is going to happen with it. Anyway, sorry for the long rant, but I had to get this off my chest. I'll post pics when I get some decent ones, the only pics I have are from my cell phone. They are kinda dark and blurry. Thanks, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAR 71 Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Nope, there were no other cars involved. How I blacked out? I have no idea, I when to the ER to get checked out later on. They didn't find anything wrong with me. The also did a catscan because I had headache and found nothing wrong. I don't know exactly what happened.

TAR 71 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. This is the first car wreck I've ever had. I've been talking to my dad about this, he's a retired claims adjuster and he fully expects them to total it. I'm not sure if I'll try to find another SS or what I'll get. We'll see what happens. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
