Thank God for Chevy trucks

[Sockeye66]

Was T-boned today by a drunk driver doing 40+ a block from my house. Caught a split second glimpse prior to impact, hit me right at the back of my drivers door and knocked me through a stop sign and ironically onto the lawn of our volunteer fire station. Just got back after being transported by ambulance. Cuts, bumps and bruises but thanful to be alive.

I'm glad you were able to walk away from that. Could've been so much worse (believe me, I've had to work some BAD ones). If you experience any kind of lasting affects get yourself an attorney...

Thank God, though I'm sure your truck helped too.
Glad you're OK, heal up.
Similar happened to me, broadsided right in front of fire station. Would probably have died had it been any where else. Felt the presence of God and watched from above as the paramedics revived me.

Glad to hear you made it through okay. You should probably give yourself a few years to see if a problem develops. In other words don't sign any paper saying that things are wonderful and you will never bring charges against the guilty party.

Glad you are ok and here to talk about it. Driving a bigger vehicle always helps. Hope you get well soon and God bless

Stay safe

Glad you weren't seriously injured. Don't hurry recovery. I always cringe when my 80+ neighbor leaves in her 10' electric box on wheels. Give me a full size anytime.

Thanks to all for the prayers and advice, a liitle more irony is that yesterday was my 54th birthday. I had a tonneau cover on the bed and the bed was already packed for my hunting trip to Idaho. My generator and the rest of the supplies were scattered across the fire station lawn. I'm very thankful that the driver didn't hit any of the kids as their were many out and about including my own. I'm really feeling it this morning.

I was T boned three years ago. I was in a Ford truck, I had almost taken the car we had at the time but my wife threw me the truck keys instead. After that experience and knowing how much worse off I would have been in a car I basically only will drive trucks or SUVs. Glad you're safe brother, being T boned is an experience...and it sucks lol.

I do think the pipe style running board might have helped.

Yep. I'd also be willing to bet there was a little 'Divine Intervention' helping there as well.

Glad you're well, but I bet you're sore as snot. Take it easy
