Body Damage is Cool

HOLLY MOTHER OF GOD!!! that is one serious impact. I am glad you and your family are fine. As it happens most of the time the drunk <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/oink.gif" alt="" /> always walk away unscratched. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> Your monty saved your life because that F350 is one serious big and heavy vehicle. Your pics brought lots of memories of my accident two years ago. Some people are just plain irresponsible and deserve the heaviest punishment. Get well brother <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Bless you and your family for walking out of this one <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> . Javy

Wow! Glad to see you and your family survived! Wishing you and yours the best and a speedy recovery!
O/T
A few years back the same thing happened to my sister while she was traveling x-country with her fiance. Luckily they were the ones in the big truck, '99 F350 4D diesel. The drunk driver, well, he was in a Toyota Avalon, they didnt find enough of him to file charges.

Events like these help you remember to give thanks daily!
It's such a blessing that you and your family are "O.K."...
My brother-in-law is a paramedic and responded to a call one day.
A Monty had rolled off an embankment, cascaded down a hill, and was crushed against a tree... Everyone in the vehicle was injured, but alive!
keep your chin up during the rehab.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and family for a quick recovery. Definitely get an attorney and teach that guy a lesson. You'd be surprised at how many of those numnuts get behind a wheel and do it again. Hopefully you can fix it so he can't afford a car for the next two decades and will ride the bus!
