A Bad Day For Me
My son and I were out on a cruise when a butthead decides to run a stop sign at 60-70 mph. I shudder when I think about what a difference of a few feet would have made.

Main thing is I take it you & your son had no major physical injuries? If that's the case...thank God for that...and bummer about the car. Hope everything in the aftermath works out to the best for you!

I hope you are just shaken up, and you and the son wasn't hurt, cars can replaced body parts aren't replaceable.

Looks like the other car ended up a lot worse. As others have said cars are replaceable.

Other guy was unconscious when they pulled him out, and I don't know his status. People stopping to help were wonderful. Offered us water, rides, a place to stay, just wonderful people. I know God was watching over us for sure. We're sore as hell and shaken, and very thankful.

The car took the hit, you guys are alive and while car's can be replaced...people can't. I am glad you both are OK. Best of luck on the insurance adventure you will now be going on!

You really did have an angel on your shoulder. A few more feet and we wouldn't be seeing this post.
Take care of yourself and your son.
