Default WIFE INVOLVED IN WRECK THIS AM

My wife was on the way to work this morning and went through an intesection where there was a flashing yellow light due to a train. All of a sudden she gets nailed by an 04 F350 and a little white BMW. Nobody even really knows where the hell the BMW came from, but it is thought that it came out of the road to the right.
Wife is OK just a little sore and a few bruises and very upset. She has never had an accident or even a speeding ticket and she is 43.
My 05 1500 didn't fair so well, but I really think it saved her.
Front wheel ripped off, all steering componets are ripped in half. The cab of the truck was actually pushed back so hard that the campershell is busted at the roof line and looks as if the truck is twisted.

That's a bad deal my friend. I'm glad to hear that she's okay!

I was just looking over the pictures again... I don't think I've ever actually seen the ***** from ball joints exposed. Ripped them and the tierod sockets completely off!

Yep, only 17k and it didn't have a scratch on it until today.

Thanks for the well wishes guys. I have been on and off the phone with insurance all day. One thing I did find out though is that they will not cover the campershell. My policy only covers what originally came on the truck from the factory.

Just glad she was in somethin big and heavy enough to keep her safe. One of these little cars would have just vanished into thin air with a hit like that.
