Icon9 wrecked the ranger

i believe she is a total loss..some lady in the lane next to me was not paying attention and didnt notice the vehicles in front of her stopping well she swerved in my lane and i hit her in the front passenger side of her 09 durango..my truck climbed her tire and was up sideways on 2 wheels for about 100feet as i was told by a witness then i hit a sign and ran into a fence...i think my truck is a total loss because the frame is tweaked and the front suspension is bent..also the rear shocks are blown...i just got out of the hospital and i got a tweaked back..got to wait for the insurance now i have had the truck for almost 6 years accident free..

i got a crapload of pics of my truck the accident scene and the durango but im using my phone and cant get out of bed to my computer to upload them..
the pics i got the damage does not look bad both fenders are bent the brushguard saved most of the front end but i think caused the frame to bend..the corner lights are smashed the offroad lights are smashed and the front bumper is fawked..my airbag light is on and my check engine light came on aswell..the windshield is cracked..but the real damage is when my truck landed on all four wheels and then smacked the curb and hit a sign which scraped all the underneath..idk what all messed up

Do not sign any sort of release of liability or anything for that matter.
You may not hurt much now but you may hurt a lot later.

The pics are deceiving, it doesn't look terrible.

Sorry to hear about all this. Hope something goes in your favor soon.

Get well soon

ANOTHER ONE!! That is seriously the 3rd wreck this month.

Either Rangers are bad luck or we are just terrible drivers.


Sorry to hear that's shes so messed up. Accidents are never fun. I hope you get a bunch of mullah and have minimal side effects. If this little fiasco leaves you with permanent back injuries it may be the end of your service days and that would blow nuts. Glad no one got seriously hurt though.

i bet she sh*t her pants when you got out in uniform.

i have had my truck almost 6 years no accidents besides hitting a dog..i have never had to make a claim ..im on quarters now i got to see a chiropractor and possibly physical therapy..the doctor told me this morning that i tweaked something really good in my back..and the uniform people are so used to solders around here it dont phase them..lol kbb on my truck in fair condition is 8300 and usaa told me they would add some because of the modifications done if they total it..they gave me a estimate of between 9000 and 10000k based on the pics i sent them
