    I'm on board with the 'something smells fishy' group. If a truck ran over his car like he said...you'd see bent wheels, axles, fenders...or at least blown tires...I-94, broad daylight...major crash in a major metropolitan area...and no witnesses...c'mon.

    What? Are you saying they MIGHT be telling a fib??? Lol. I don't know. It looks nasty, something besides a rollover did happen, maybe an insurance scam? The story is way weird.

    I'm calling BS, too. This guy is out for money or to cover up his own incompetence. Add, SATs can be rescheduled. You don't force someone to go to school or take a test with those kinds of injuries. Way to parent, Dad.

    There's lots of questions that I don't have answers to, either. But one has to acknowledge that that car didn't drive itself there then park on the shoulder to make some sort of bogus claim. Some other vehicle hit them, or they hit some other vehicle, regardless, the other vehicle is nowhere to be found, for whatever reason is anybody's guess. Only a heavy truck driven by a clueless driver could take that sort of hit and not know it, or knew it and didn't want to accept the responsibility (which sounds typical of some).

    UPS trailers are silverish. Is he saying he was tail whipped by a double or triple?
