Hate to see this. People drive like shlt and seems like it’s getting worse. It is! No injuries is a good thing.

YOU TALKIN' BOUT THIS OFFROAD BEAST?? LOL

Lol. Yes. Same color, but mine was a 4 door and not lifted like that.

Dude that hit me showed up in court Brady Bunch style with a neck brace. I was assigned exactly 50% of the blame, so we both walked away with nothing.

Sorry to hear but glad you are ok.

It's also possible not to make your left turn when someone is barreling toward you at 50 mph.

I don't want to sound like I'm victim-blaming here, and I'm sorry it happened, but from the sounds of it this accident was 100% preventable by the OP...

Yeah buddy, cause we all wait an extra 10 seconds on green lights. Glad you aren't victim blaming, cause I would sure hate to see what that looks like for you if this ain't it.

Glad you are okay.
if you end up parting out the Bronco I am interested in the rims.

Oh you mean the Last Clear Chance doctrine. Point of impact to OP’s vehicle seems to indicate he was pretty much in control of the intersection when other veh blew a red light. So no, I don’t think OP is largely at fault. But good luck arguing YOUR case in court lol

We’ll see if the insurance companies hold you blameless.

Any reason to think the OP’s case is any different than this one?

Ehh, don't feed the troll any more.

I'm not sure about his circumstance. Sounds like the traffic flow had separate cycles.

I was stopped in the left hand turn lane, in the intersection waiting for traffic. The car approaching the intersection stopped once the light turned red. I proceeded. Unfortunately, the car behind the car that stopped hit the gas and accelerated, swerved into the other lane and t-boned me.

First guy that stopped showed up in court in my defense saying the light was red.

Judge used the location of the impact against me, and the witness testimony. Used the assumed speed of impact against the other driver. We both claimed our own ins.

This was back in the day, pre-cameras.

Hopefully OP's state is not no-fault like Hawaii is now.

I didn’t read it well enough to come to that conclusion. I just commented on incident and drivers in general. The crap you see people pull all day long is scary.

Was turning left on green this morning when the other guy blew his red at XX mph.

Airbags deployed, those things are not gentle.

Don't think this will buff out.

Update: Went to the tow yard to clean it out and it doesn't look too bad. The tube step is still straight and nothing underneath appears damaged (in my 30 second inspection). Both Quarte panels are damaged as are both doors. Both doors opened and closed (and latched with minimal effort). He must have braked hard at the last second, cause no way he was going what I said above with that little damage.

Hopefully just sheetmetal and paint *fingers crossed*

Won't buff out, but now you don't have to worry about getting it scratched on the trail!!

Come down here in Fl where you can go without insurance, and literally not have any consequences. Yes, it is a no fault state.

Add in the fact that probably 30% of the people on the road shouldn’t be on it to begin with. They can’t even see the road, let alone here any type of horn. Driving here is wild.

So when totaled, do you have to go to the end of the line for the replacement? Or do you get a break?
