Sudden Impact

On Friday Night of last week, our truck was involved in a Hit and Run accident. We were getting ready for bed when a neighbor came knocking. They informed us that our vehicle had been "jacked up". Our pick-up had been pushed 40ft into another vehicle and then went another 10ft. So the vehicle, a Chevy Suburban, slammed into the back of our truck and pushed it 50ft down the street into another vehicle and up on the sidewalk infront of the neightbors home. You can see the damage in the pictures. Poilce located the Chevy Suburban who had fled the scene, with the help of two eyewitnesses, parked in a gated driveway around the corner. The Chevy Suburban was impounded although the driver had dissappeared and the vehicle was parked at a different address than the one the vehicle was registered at. The incident is still under investigation. However the suspect has come to our home and appologized and claimed responibility, but we'll see what really happens. We are glad that no one was hurt, however we are sad that Matt's truck has been temporaily out of commission. It's a pian in the butt to have to tow three children into the minivan at 3am to drive Matt to work and then tow them back to bed.
What a pain. Matt also has to wait for us to pick him up from work and because we don't have cell phones and I'm a busy mom he ends up doing a lot of waiting on outside the plant in the HOT desert sun. Poor baby. It's amazing to me how one person's choice affects so many. Way to go reckless driver-YOU SUCK!
