Re: Tahoe is totaled.

Absolutely fantastic you and your family got out with minor injuries. Says a lot to how well the Chevy trucks are built. I feel better about my wife being in her Burb while out on the road. Yeah it don't get great mileage but it is a safer vehicle. Sitting up a few inches higher made the difference in where your truck was struck versus a lower built car. You might not have been so fortunate.
As to the possible sentence she might get don't be surprised if she gets a light sentence if only because there were no fatalities. I know of a young man who driving drunk in a dually ran a stop sign and tboned a woman in a lexus, drivers side, mid afternoon. Killed her. He got off with about 2 years in prison. He's out now and drinking as much as before. Like father like son. Nice family but they're alcoholics. IMO he should have gotten a lot more time than 2 years. Her death and loss to her family should be worth way more than 2 years of his life.
