    Thank God you're here to talk abut it. Lets just hope and pray this idiot that decided to drink and drive won't be driving anytime soon, or ever.

    Might sound harsh or cruel but if anyone has had to deal with the ugly truth about what a drunk driver causes, then you would think the same way as I do. There's far too much death on our roads because of drunk driving. Most of the time the drunk drivers family and friends let's us know how good of a person they are, this was just a one time mistake, they are a church going individual, yada, yada, yada. Enough already. The dude in Kentucky in 1988 that was one of these high moral outstanding citizens did the same thing, and killed 27 kids on a school bus on I-71. Oh he did his time, all 16 years of it, then was able to live the rest of his life. The only true punishment he got was having to live the rest of his life knowing what he did. That's just one instance, these people that have multiple DUI's and are still out here with the rest of us are another bunch that thumb their noses at the rest of society doing the right thing. My rant is over.

    Obviously a significant impact... so glad you're ok!

    Let's hope the culprit has a valid and ample insurance to hopefully get you back rolling in it asap!

    That's really unfortunate for you. What about the other vehicle? Any injuries or even fatalities? Was it just a little passenger vehicle? This really is sad to see. [FILL IN THE BLANK] anyone who drinks and drives. As if we don't have enough collisions and mishaps on the roads without them.

    Scroll down to truckers news and I think there is a sub forum for truck accidents.

    Doesn't really matter tho

    Thanks for pointing that out, Cat. I overlooked it being in the FL forum earlier.

    As an FYI, if you ever see a mis-category or similar, if you use the report button the mods are then assured to see it.

    I'll move the thread there, and leave a temporary redirect pointing the way, on this forum.
