Wrecked truck
Lady pulled out in front of my Dad yesterday on his way to a car show. She never looked leaving a side alley. He way only going about 30-35 but she pulled out when it was way to late for him to react. She had insurance and it will be fixed but that was the first major damage to the truck since it was new.He bought it used in 67. It was wearing the original body panels.
Thanks for letting me share and be careful, idiots are around every corner. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Wrecked truck
He does not do the computer thing sir. He would know without a shadow of a doubt that I was kidding and trying to stay positive about the situation. Daddio knows I love him.

Re: Wrecked truck
So did the impact knock the cell phone out of her hand?
![]() What a shame, you just never know. Many moons ago I spent 5 years searching for an SS hood for my 67 Chevelle. A few weeks later the entire car including the hood was destroyed by a red light runner. I'm glad your dad is okay, just know how miserable something like this can make a person feel. It started out as such a nice day. His truck is beautiful even wrecked. Look forward to seeing it back together. |

Re: Wrecked truck
How long before the lady is out of Intesive Care? I'm sure her car kept her safe during the collision, but the beat-down after the collision - that's when the injuries occur.

Re: Wrecked truck
Yikes! Nice to see it didn't get the hood
I hope her airbags woke her up (not) I agree about the cell phone,who in their right mind pulls out of an alley without looking or even stopping? (kinda like wandering around on the freeway blindfolded). Glad your dad's OK T

Re: Wrecked truck
Too bad this happened to your dad, but at least he is okay. I know I drive very cautiously anymore, there are to many drivers not paying attention.

Re: Wrecked truck
where did this happen? I didnt think Midlothian had any roads! JK. I am very glad your dad is OK, I know I worry about mine when he goes to shows. If you need a good body/paint man I know of one in Alvarado.

Re: Wrecked truck
Think he was around the Irving area when it happened Clyde. He lives in Grand Prairie and he is friends with the folks at Extreme Auto body on Main st. So they do all the paint and body work.Thanks anyway tho.. They do a great job also if anyone around DFW is wondering.
Midlothian is growing man!! we got our first stop light last week. ![]()
