Shoulda seen the other guy....
Well she left in an ambulance but she was talking last I saw her. I'm good.. skeert me a bit though...
Apparently she was trying to "elude" a nice police officer who had turned around on her.. which explains how she managed to knock the rear axle of an F250 and both axles on our dump trailer with a Misubishi Eclipse.

Holy Cow! The rear axle sheared from the suspension mount? You are indeed a lucky fellow if all you suffered was equipment damage. She musta been goin hella fast.

WOW! You must have caught the Mitsubitchi's axle. Most people just roll right over an Eclipse.
Glad all is well - hope she's well insured.

"Oh no, there's a cop, what'll I do? I know, I'll crash and then claim I wasn't driving because the car won't go." Reminds me of a time when we were on the way to Ft Polk LA to support the national guard exercises. A pickup was stalled on the westbound side of a long high bridge, so some "lady" decided it would be best to crash into a 5 ton dump truck instead of waiting 'till it was clear to pass. Shortened her '53 Chevy by about 1/3, broke the front axle loose on the truck and pushed it over the side of the bridge. No idea what became of the 2 guys in the truck, but it's not likely to be anything you'd want to see.  Of course, they made us repair the truck.
