Hope you weren't hurt

[Bimmer9938]

Just some cuts from the broken glass from crawling on it to get out, once they cut my seat belt.

[guruerror]

Sorry to see that...I liked those old Cherokees. Glad you weren't hurt...but how'd you get rear-ended and there's no damage to the rear-end?

[Bimmer9938]

but how'd you get rear-ended and there's no damage to the rear-end?


Yea the State Trooper said the same thing cause there was no other vehicle (they ran), then I pointed out my exhaust pointing straight up (Jeep was upside down) and all the white paint scuffs on the bottom edge of my rear bumper. Oddly there was a smashed up white car a mile down the road pulled off to the side (probably broke down) with it's speedometer needle stuck at 70 from the impact.


aka: Jeep is high, car was low.

There is even white paint on my exhaust and leaf spring.

[GRTWHT1]

WOW ! I guess telling you that you were lucky probably sounds old right about now. Was the other car stolen? Or can you find out who they were?
I just traveled 95 from NH to MD last week and I'll be back out there next week. :twak:

I wonder what the other car would have looked like if you had been in "BIG BLACK" probably would have been lodged under the H2.

$hitty story, glad your here to tell it.

[Bimmer9938]

Still no word if the person fell asleep or was drunk... Yes I know I'm very lucky (but I'm very sore).

[HummerJim]

Glad you are OK!!! Results could have been much different if you were in a smaller car like a Civic! My brother and his wife got sideswiped in their Expedition in 1997 by a drunk driver going 80+ and walked away with minor scratches. They've never owned anything but large SUVs since then.

[ROUSHDEMON]

holy crap Bimmer, sorry to hear that! That does suck and p*sses me off people would run specially when they knew someone was hurt or could have been even killed. Where you alone in the car??

[Bimmer9938]

Yes, I was alone.. thank god my girl didn't come with me.

[ROUSHDEMON]

yeah no kidding. Hope you come up on top with the insurance and eveything you had in it bro. Good luck.

[Bimmer9938]

Thanks, we'll see.
