I lost control goin up the hill, those of you live in OR/Wa, that is 238 ave in Woodvillage Or, it might be totaled not sure yet will find out monday. good thing for full coverage insurance! Air bags did not even deploy.

 

Oh noes!!

I know that hill all too well - had to tow a gnarly *** load of drywall up that hill.. hell - its not much more then 5-10 minutes from where Shane lives :-(


That sucks a bunch man, the fresh rain si what caused it - oil slicks abound on that section of the road, and since this is the first rain in a long time, the roads are -slick-!!


Let us know what happens man!

 

Yeah, i was thinkin about him as i was sittin on the curb and they asked me if i new anyone out that way LOL i was like dang! i wish i had shanes number. i hope it can be fixed, tow guy tried to move the front wheels by steering it and it would not move.

 

That hill SUCKS!

It switches from 2 lanes to 1 right at the tip top going aroudn the corner, then it has two ultra narrow lanes on the uphill right side - I know they need to change it sometime, I've hit the gas on a RWD going up it and had my back tires spin a bit from the same situation.. rain and that hill are just bad ju-ju with the amount of traffic it gets - shoudl be a full width 4 lane hill going up there :-(

 

That sucks bryan!!! Did it mess up any thing on the engine, radiator, motor mounts???

 

Holy cow!! I know exactly where that is. That hill, going down hill towards work at 3:30am in the winter time....pretty awesome(sarcastic awesome).

I don't see it being totaled. Keep us updated.

 

Yeah....last winter a water line burst at the top of the hill. 8" of ice.....road was closed for probably 2 weeks.

 

not sure, all i know is the front end, the truck still can start. i turned it off after the impact then turned it over again and it startd and again off fast then hopped out to check on everyone in the car.

 

sorry for your loss

 

the shop im taking it to pays 200.00 of my deductable, i have an apointment at 11:30am monday morning. and they will take care of anything if nothing big has happened to it.

 

Is everyone ok??

 

there was an older russian couple i hit, the husband was okay he was the driver, the wife was complaining about her breathing. both airbags depayed in there car as u can see in the picture.

 

And, obviously - your back okay it looks? If it had happened earleir and you were using a phone or something to post - I would have been more then happy to drive out there and get you wherever you needed to go - bad news man, really hope things go okay!

 

She was probably just in shock... Your ok though?

 

it happened around i would say noon, the pic was taken at 12:51 that was after everyone left other then officers

 

yeah im okay my back hurts though other then that im fine

 

So WHO was technically at fault for the accident??? Anybody get any tickets? were there any witnesses?

 

that blows man!

good news is, if your airbags didn't go off, 90% chance it isn't totalled... even when they do deploy there is a big margain for non totaling... depends on what the frame looks like... good luck with the insurance adjusters though...

 

It was my fault, there were no ticket givin to me at all. and there were lots of witnesses.

 

Cool, thats good

I'm sure even the local cops know that road is a major pain in the rear end with this weather!


Great to here bud, you should draw yourself up a good bath and let it all soak out for a good hour.. will help get rid of that stress crap for a while, help the muscles out!

 

Epsom salts will help too

 

all i did was take a nap for like an hour and a half. yeah the two officers were talkin about all the makes on the curb and how many accidents happen in that area of the road. I forgot i left eveything in my truck for work, ill explain to the boss when i get there monday. But when i get it back from the auto body shop (if they can fix it) it will be like ALMOST brand new (well body wise) have to get new clear corners again lol

 

tell them you had aftermarket corners, the insurance has to replace what is on the vehicle.

also, if the colour doesn't match PERFECTLY, because of the clear on the rest of the truck is faded or something, they have to paint the rest, as it matched before... just keep complaining till you are happy

 

Yeah true, LOL about the color match, anyway i can get a body lift and new tires on it too LOL im j/k i just got my tires rotated and they did something to my tires at the shop. with holes in the tires for more grip and so on. well it didnt help! I don't even think they did what they said they were going to do.

 

i know this hill all too well. Not a big fan of it. Its three lanes wide meant for two! going uphill always freaks me out...i usually floor it up it because people seem to go right next to me, never liked that. sorry about what happened...
