i got TBONED in the camaro! UPDATED WITH PICS

[Tyler]

so im in the turning lane turning into the parking lot of the chinese restaraunt.. light turns amber and im still in the middle of the intersection. I waited for everyone to stop, then started to go on with my turn.

Then all of a sudden this white neon looking to run the redlight comes into view. I couldnt do anything but slam the gas. She hit me with the pedal to the medal running the redlight. hit my rear quarter panel. Definately Bend axel. my rear hatch is dislodged and slammed to the left, my right rear tire is facing outward, JUST MISSED MY Drivers side door. From the way it felt and drove home.. I think it may be totalled. Seems to be some frame damage if i was looking at the right stuff..

If its not totalled i'll need a new axel, new rim, new body kit, new quarter panel and new hatch. and maybe more Im hoping its not totalled cause its a 96 with 80k miles and is paid off. i prolly wont get but 5 k for it. then i'll prolly be getting a honda.. ehh

Im okay though. Im waiting on my ride to the emergency room right now. My neck is killing me, my right arm is throbbing in pain, and my back is bruised up and swollen.

my mom said we are getting a lawyer for this one... i started crying when i saw my car all wrecked and mingled, and i cursed the **** out of the lady that hit me. stupid ***** running the red light!

Sorry to hear that man. I had almost the same thing happen to me, redlight runner. I was $300 away from my car being totalled. Hope everything works out.

happened to me too, except i was the one going straight through and they turned in front of me....now i just stop if i see it going yellow unless it's just turned yellow. See too many near misses.

air bags go off. air bags deployed + quarter panel + those miles = totalled. get pics if you can. sounds pretty bad. frame damage isnt as bad as everyone makes it out to be, mine had frame damage and now that i just got it alligned and balancec, drives perfectly straight. good luck

Sorry to hear that. I hope the police were there and found her at fault, otherwise she'll be lying about what actually happened and may try and blame you. Either way, hope you feel better and it all works out.

the messed up thing about that whole who to blame situation is that the cop was placing me under blame, but didnt write me a ticket. Florida is a No Fault state anyways. But his reasoning was that since i was in the middle of the intersection waiting to turn, she still had the right of way, regardless of the redlight or not. I told the cop.. "okay i can see it being my fault if she hit my front end.. but look at the damage. HER front end is GONE, and my BACK end is damaged.." he "understands" and "is going by the book"

Everyone else at the intersection was at a complete stop, this one came out of nowhere, and she was in the far left lane, i was in the turning lane... hmm..

Thanks shirl, im aching, and im sure it will be worse tomorrow when i fall out of bed. I got swelling in my back and right shoulder and elbow and neck is killing me. I got the muscle relaxers though so i should be strait.

I'll try and get the digital camera from my dad tomorrow so i can take pictures.

man sorry to hear about that, i dunno about your laws but try to fight it atleast! what was the speed limit(for her standpoint) was she possibly speeding exessively! you an get a good lawyer i would assume and come out in the matter ok!!

[asdf1234]

What do you mean by Florida is a "no fault" state? I've been hit a number of times, and its always been their fault, as the ticket says its their fault, and I collect from their insurance. Explain?

[shock_core]

sux0r man. I hope your not too screwed up. I'd have a lawyer all over this. Thats just wrong what she did.

[Everglades W68]

Call Chuck Norris - he'll straighten things out.

[Loochy88]
