Hit and run victim..what to do now????

My question is how did the car get into a weigh station and why don't they record the video feed from there. How can someone just monitor it, and if they were only monitoring it, did they respond to the hit and run. Maybe suing the state for some of the money based on their lack of response to monitoring it plus they don't record it when they should, they record a lot of other things.

 

That must have been Mad Max's car if it drove away after doing that kind of damage.

 

2,500 for a hotel and 1 meal a day for 7 days??

That damage pattern, as pointed out earlier could only be caused by a magic car.

bs

 

If he was parked at a weigh station, in a designated parking spot, what possible turn could a car make to hit the truck like that?
Plus, what was a (civilian) car doing in the weight station?

I'm not even sure how those impacts could even be caused by one vehicle in a singe incident.
Too bad it hadn't been recorded.

 

Actually, she said it had been 15 days at a cost of $2,000, and that it would be around $2,500 by next Monday when they expected to get the truck back.
That would be around $133 per day.
A bit high, still, for a motel and one meal.

 

Some if not all insurance companies will take a lot of time to fix a truck until they know all the ducks are in the row. If any questions they drag their feet. There is a deductible that has to be considered and I bet the company is responsible for it. The repair shop needs to assured they are going to get paid before they begin work on the truck. Some things are not on you but those around you that have an interest in the truck... call the company and get that info to at least ease your mind. You may even get a different truck under the lease agreement or the goodness of the company..

 

Ok, shoot, let me just go ahead and take a wild guess. Couldn't hurt, huh?
That front left quarter damage looks like the outcome of a lot of truck stop accidents, striking a deer, etc. Absolutely nothing outstanding. What is interesting to me is the damage that occurred around that left fuel tank. The tank appears to be damaged from the bottom (pushed up) as well as having damage on the top side. Usually (yes, I said usually)in an accident a vehicle will go over or under an object, rarely both. Also notice that in one picture that step material on the tank faring is pushed up, and on the other picture it looks like someone has stepped on it to push it down (post accident?).
So here is my tin foil hat theory, in which I am totally taking the drivers word on what he witnessed. I think a vehicle was traveling towards the front of the truck at a pretty good speed at about a 45 degree angle to the truck, hit that left front quarter and then the vehicle spun around and the rear end of the car struck the truck around the tank.
Now, what would explain the strange damage to the fuel tank you ask? If the vehicle had a tow hitch attached to the rear bumper, you could possible have a high and low strike at the same time. This might also help to explain how in the world a car could cause this much damage and still drive away. The average vehicle can usually take a whole lot more punishment on the rear and still be able to limp away. If that much damage around that fuel tank was caused by the front of the car, it would still be there with quite a few part on the ground.
Yep, sometimes too much time on my hands!
