going to the trailer this evening. some guy in a chevy truck crossed the double yellow line. 3 feet into my lane. barely missed head on hit my dualy fender tore off the full flare board. im lucky thats all that happened had the whole family in the truck 2 boys and a pregnant wife.
guy never stopped never slowed down.. just kept going. the nerve of some people. dude even lost his side view mirror. happened in the milford area.

now i gotta try to find a dually fender and full flare board. for the driver side. .. hopfully it isnt to hard to find...
its a crew cab dually kinda hard to miss with all the lights on the truck

Glad everyone is ok. At least property can be fixed...

I've heard of this type of thing happening to someone else... (cough: Carwash) unbelievable. Hate to say it, but he probably woke up the next day wondering what the heck he hit.

Glad everyone is OK... might consider asking around at body shops..??

Any axle damage?

Did the hit spin/pull you into opposing traffic lane?

If anyone did that to me while in my truck, the flatbed on the CC DRW would slice through their truck like a can opener...

you did file a report with the police .. right !

he will now loose his license for F.R.A. , not that it will help you or keep him from driving but it will cost him in the long run. The court can also sentence him to pay you restitution for the damage, given it may only be a little bit a week but it's better then nothing.
