Glad you're okay. I was hit by a drunk driver while in my Tacoma. I was doing around 40 on a main road and a guy in a ford tempo station wagon drinking since 11am, ran a stop sign . He hit me so hard he pushed me into oncoming traffic, luckily no cars were in the lane but it scared the guy driving in that lane seeing the front of a vehicle feet away. He almost flipped me over. I was hospitalized and out of work for 2 weeks. It was his 3rd DUI. My truck was damaged on the passenger side rocker and door. The truck was repaired but it never drove the same again. He was arrested at the scene but only got a ticket and a fine and kept his license. He claimed his brakes failed and the breathalyzer was faulty. The judge believed him, he was out of jail before I was out of the hospital. I am not tolerant whatsoever to anyone who even drives "buzzed". They're driving an weapon even buzzed. All in all your accident could of been much worse. But you're here to talk about it, as am I, so I have a new perspective on life since then and things have been going great with just a few speed bumps in 10 years since. But nothing like getting in my 86 in the morning and just enjoying the ride.
