Just my lucky day!!!

Wow, if my day couldn't have gone worst i got a 2 for 1 accident...

Well i got in an accident on the 710 freeway because of someone SPEEDING!!They hit the back of my dads truck ( which i own too )...He spun out on the freeway and since i was next to him on the second lane i had to turn sideways and i drifted in to the median...Me and my dad ended up looking at each other but thank god a semi didn't hit us...well actually me since i was sideways on the freeway blocking cars from hitting my dads truck...

So now i have a 2 broken wheels which are only 6 months old a broken headlight, corner light, fender, and messed up tires..

The truck is a 99 dodge ram and it's totaled!!!SO PLEASE DO NOT SPEED!!!

It was a HIT AND RUN TOO!!

I'm thankful everything is okay, that was a very dangerous spot to have an accident in. I hope your insurance company won't raise rates over a hit and run and that all will turn out well.
