Default Its...DEAD!! (Well, just badly damaged)

UTSA Blv & Texana
Coming up UTSA from Dezavala, I was driving past an 18-wheeler, 18-wheeler drifts into my lane, causes me to hit curb, bounce up onto the curve, blow out my right two tires, come back onto the road, smach across the median, over another curb, and into an apartment complex fence. 18-wheeler didn't even stop.

My car isn't driavable anymore. Had to have it towed. Its sitting at Red McCombs Collision. Lots of damage. Looks like the entire suspension on the right front broke, all 4 rims are badly damaged, tires are gone, hood is damaged, bumper is gone, sides are gone, 3 fender wells fell off, entire underbody scratched and damaged.

The Fence...


My Not So Pretty Car...

terrible news about the car, great news that you were able to post the message. Cars can be fixed, unfortunately lives not so easily.

Ouch, I die a little every time I see something like that. Glad you came out ok, and I'm sure she'll be good as new soon.

Ya, I'm in San Antonio.

Luckily, I'm fine. Airbags didn't deploy, which is a little weird. They should of. It was a HARD hit.

Nice to hear from SAT...not nice to hear what that a## did to your ride. Me and my son both totalled cars while living there. Me on base at Lackland (see pix on almost totalled thread) my son on 1604 by Culebra (AKA "the loop of death") while the overpass construction was going on.
I hope it can be fixed. What does your insurance folks say about it?

That's just wrong.

Figures that he didn't even stop. Hopefully the cop at the scene didn't ticket you or fault you on the accident report.

Considering there were no other cars actually "involved", I've seen it happen.

Trust in karma to deal with that *** down the road.
