something done at work. Rather than spending countless hours posting mundane
useless crap I went out on the road to make deliveries and keep my customers happy.
At 2:00pm this afternoon I was on the passenger side of a water delivery truck when
he decided he wanted to make take a right up a side street. He did a good job of the PIT
maneuver catching the left rear of my drivers side with his right front bumper.
It swerved me to the left and the momentum carried me across the other lane
where I landed against a curb on the shoulder . I will say that I am lucky no one
was coming in the opposite direction, it would have been a lot worse.
The Police showed up and did their report and "Triple A" changed my tire.
We noticed that that rear axle had shifted back and the spring was damaged.
So far the damage that we can tell is a flattened quarter panel,
destroyed tire and rim, bent axle shaft broken leaf spring but luckily no dirty undies ;)
This picture doesnt quite show how flat the side is, and if you look closely there is a
huge gash on the top sidewall of the tire ( 5000 miles old).
So I am filling out forms and getting ready to take it to the shop and let the
insurance companies fight it out. What will be amazing to see is the outcome.
I have been driving since 1978 and have never had an accident.
I pay my insurance bill every month. This should get interesting.
