Did anyone notice the airbags did not deploy on the black car.

Glad you all walked away from that.

No brakes???
Time for someone to double check that story. Just my opinion.
Glad your are OK.
Glad you seem ok physically. Maybe the guy thought you were in a Cybertruck.

Man, that's horrific. But, what's most important is that you can live to talk about it. Seeing the photo of the perpetrator, it seems to always be a clapped out Malibu causing accidents. Why is that?

My one month old Lariat. No kidding. February 19th purchased and March 21st hit by a guy without breaks. Airbags deployed, windows and doors unlocked, and the truck called 911 immediately! I was so impressed that I said “wow” while on my side. Thankfully, everyone was okay. I’m just so impressed with the safety of this truck.

Glad you’re ok and sorry to hear about the truck. I hope it’s a quick replacement in the future.

Good friend was rear-ended by a non-licensed teen with no insurance last year.

Friend=broken back, 5 broken ribs, broken collar bone, 2 weeks in intensive care, etc. 7-8 months home confinement. His vehicle insurance covered his totaled vehicle, but medical care took a lawyer to collect $159,000 from his own insurance company. Lawyer took 40% of settlement but 8 months of unemployment hurt. His "uninsured motorist clause" saved his ass. Teenage girl nor family had no source of assets to recover any monetary damages, not a penny. The rule of "can't get blood out of a turnip" applied to auto wrecks.
My wife was in a 10 car pile up on an icy highway 2 years ago. Out of the 10 cars 5 had current insurance. According to our insurance company.

Glad to hear you’re ok.

Teen driver shocked by failing brakes: “I slammed the brake pedal all the way to the floor and the car downshifted and the engine revved up, but the car didn’t seem to slow down at all.”

Outta curiousity, what mechanism called the police automatically? Was that the truck or your phone or your watch or what? Feel like I need that.

Well, like everyone else I’m glad you’re OK and I’m glad the truck is that safe and I really didn’t know that until now. I hope the insurance totaled it and don’t try to fix it. You really don’t wanna fix a brand new truck. What a shame for you and your truck, it must be awful so sorry.

My phone was connected but it was ultimately the truck that initiated the call.
