Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI

Thankfully, you and your family are unhurt. Sorry to see the damage to your vehicles.

As for the piece of s**t who did the damage, we all can imagine what you'd like to do to him.

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI

The cop that let him go right before the accident better have a REALLY good explanation.

Sorry to hear about your vehicles.

The highway patrol told me that and he has it on film, the city cop once he saw who the guy was, he said "I told you" and said he had just pulled him over and gave him a ticket(don't know what ticket was for yet)....


we will see

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI

ouch, that really sucks... atleast he didn't kill anyone. I would get a lawyer involved and be sure to blame him and the city (cop that let him go). I hate to sue but I think you have reason to be a little upset with them....

you know his insurance, if he has any, will lowball any reapirs or replacements on your cars...

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI

I hope they hang him. He had a gun in his van and he was drinking. That spells big trouble. Get a lawyer, it sounds like he will be put under the jail.

That really stinks. Glad nobody got hurt, that was probably about the nicest original Burb I've ever seen. Hopefully justice will be served..........

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI

Wow...Those are some incredible pictures. I can just see your insurance company blaming you because of the way your rides were parked. Or him suing because if your fence and cars werent in the way he wouldnt have had this "accident".

Drunk drivers make me sick. No different than someone taking a loaded gun and closing their eyes and just start shooting. They may or may not hit someone.

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI

man that bites, glad you and your family are safe. Like everyone else I wish they would lock these guys up for a long time. another thought to the police who let him off with a ticket, he's also lucky to be alive!
