Hope everyone is ok. Dash cams definitely a wise investment. Did the cops ask to see the video?

Very sorry to see this but glad everyone is ok. It seems/I hope it can be saved.Everyone's fine, but the Wrangler driver wasn't in a big hurry to explain why she stopped in the left lane.
"He pushed me into the other lane!"
Thanks for the explanation- Video makes it look like your speed was a bit much to overtake a rig just entering traffic flow but not sure what actual speeds were present.Yea, but, right on cue, it didn't want to connect to my phone. Ended up emailing a copy to the station after the fact. Went and talked to the office writing the report. That intersection was blocked off a few years ago (the yellow posts) to keep people from crossing, but people illegally U-turn around it all the time. Such as tonight.
You've confirmed that these facts were known to you.Ok, wow, I prob should have clarified. This stretch of road has a posted 55mph limit, I was not going much faster than that. This Intersection was recently blocked off to prevent this exact occurrence, but instead, most people go around the barrier, like this person did. IDK why I'm surprised by people blaming me for this, but it is what it is.
I used to work, although not in claims, at one of the largest auto insurance companies in the country. Unless you were drinking or on your cell phone, which I assume you weren’t, this is completely her fault. Whatever happens with your truck repair or not, just be thankful no one is injured or worse. On the stupid moves scale, I will give her a nine. I reserve tens when there are children involved. Best of luck .Ok, wow, I prob should have clarified.

The officer on the scene, after watching the video, confirmed I was 0% at fault in his opinion.
I don't think anyone is blaming you, the video clearly shows you were not at fault.Ok, wow, I prob should have clarified.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Sure, it's nice to avoid someone who's doing their best to cause a crash, but it doesn't always work out. Sounds like to officer determined that the other party was at fault. Did they receive a citation?Gotta be honest, not my proudest moment. I should have been on the brakes from the moment she was straddling the line. I was never expecting her to cut left and stop.
He had a dash cam running to prove what actually happened, otherwise it would have been a he said/she said scenareo. The camera never lies.Look on the bright side.
Not sure what it is but just look at that
That really sucks! Glad you're ok, but still after waiting so long to get your Maverick and to have some jackass try an illegal turn just bites!!! Thankfully, you're ok and your Maverick can be rebuilt, hopefully soon!Yea, but, right on cue, it didn't want to connect to my phone. Ended up emailing a copy to the station after the fact.
