My daughter didnt suffer as much as a scratch but was a little confused as to what happened. My wife has a cracked wrist bone and i have severe scratches and bruises along ym forearms, my neck and back and right shoulder are bruised and VERY sore.
We are very lucky that we survived with nothing but a few scratches. I took some pictures so i will hopefully have them ready soon.

I'm glad your still here to tell us about it.. it sounds like it could had been alot worse. I am really sorry about your new truck..

I completly rebuilt the front end under the truck. New bushings, ball joints, tie rods, wheel bearings, brakes, everything. Hard weekend. Then I got to put on my new wheels and tires. It drives like a brand new truck!
