I’m so sorry. That is exactly how I rear ended someone years ago. I never forgot it either.

[@adamtereska8734]

I'm glad you are both not seriously injured. As RJ said, I have great memories in that Escape as well with riding together when we went to the abandoned turnpike, the drivestreams, which were always fun and full of laughs, and all the collaborations. I too hope they repair the car. From the damage pics, the main frame rails look straight, just the radiator support ,which can be easily pulled out. The radiator and bags will need swapped out obviously, bit it looks like it can be repaired, especially being only 4 years old. At any rate, you and RJ are alright, and that is the most important thing.

My truck had a bent bumper too..there’s a large bracket that is ford exclusive..it holds the bumper up. That is around 5K. I got rear ended on July 30 this year. Truck was done today and we went to pick it up..they scratched my front bumper! Huge long scrape too. All the way across the bumper. The wreck damage was fixed. But I caught the new damage, they didn’t call or anything to fess up. I asked to see the before shots from before they fixed my wreck damage, he said..”it’s not there”. He found a beautiful unscathed front bumper. They are fixing it for free. I’m glad you and RJ are safe! Yeah our trucks do a number on cars. I’m sorry to see your car on the rollback, that’s a sucky feeling 😞 I have a feeling you can get it rebuilt..or your insurance company may total it. If repairs cost more than the car is worth.

From what I can see, that tow hitch was the main cause of all of that damage (reason why I don't wear hitches if I am not towing). No one is at fault, but the hitch is a pretty good way to mess your car up quick other than removing a shin in a parking lot. Glad that everyone is okay!!

JP, accidents do happen, and it's usually a momentary lapse of judgement or attention, it happens every day to many people, the main thing is that you and RJ78 are both okay with minimal pain (so far) what you showed on your car and the fact that the airbags went off usually means that the car is totaled and even if insurance will get it repaired, it will have to be re-inspected by someone certified by the state DMV (I heard there is someone in the Scranton area) and that will take even more time to be road worthy (even though Pennsylvania roads are not LoL), you would probably be better to get another car in my opinion The trains were awesome coming out of the tunnel

[@caydenworley5002]

Knowing RBMN, 425 may be back sooner than we think. I breifly saw her in the shed this Saturday and she seemed fairly complete. Her cylinders looked fairly new and cleaned.

[@ellerj641]

Car accidents are no fun. I had my first major accident a few months ago. At least a few years before that, I was in a fair ride accident that caused an annular tear in my C6/7 disc. There's no fixing it, so my shoulder just droops down and I get clicking popping if I move a certain way. Back to a few months ago, I was leaving work and was sitting at a red light. I am very cautious and wait after lights turn green in case someone tries to run the light. The light turned green, I wait 5-10 seconds. The car on the left side of me had already pulled out and turned. I start creeping out into the intersection. By this point, it had been nearly 20 seconds since the light had been green. I was halfway across the intersection and no one was coming. I assumed no one is going to try to run the light. I had just accelerated my car when suddenly I was facing the other direction after hearing a huge thump. A lady, who had her daughter and grandbaby in the car, decided to not stop and just run the light. Even after seeing a car turn and being more than 50 feet away, far enough to see and know the light is red. Her daughter even told her she was not going to make it. Lady tried anyways and didn't even brake. Just hit me head on. Absolutely destroyed mine and her car. We all went to the hospital. I got the whole work up and was told I was fine and sent home. No pain meds or anything. I ended up in urgent care a couple days later and was told I was injured and given muscle relaxers and pain meds. I have not quite fully recovered at this point. I need to go back to the doctor and have another MRI on my spine. I am so afraid I tore my disc even more. My shoulder is drooping even farther now and it is very noticeable. It causes a lot of pain to hold my shoulder up for more than a few seconds. I get almost constant clicking and popping in my neck and shoulder, and occasional pain. To top it off, if I push/pull hard or carry something heavy, I get tingling down my arm and then numb. As soon as I stop, I get feeling back. I am glad your accident was minor. Hopefully you make a full recovery and get your car fixed.

[@richdiscoveries]

That really sucks man, and being a car guy I really get the sentimental attachment to vehicles. But in the end, it's just a vehicle, as long as you guys are all right that's what truly matters. Still sucks but that's what matters. I bought my Impala back in 2013 and that car has brought me 150,000 MI around this beautiful country, and I bought it to replace my 2001 Impala that brought me 265,000 Mi around this country. We grow attached to these things. Also if we have a highway like that, the Merit or Wilbur cross parkway, it was initially designed in the 1930s so there stop signs instead of ramps to get up to speed because cars only did like 40 back then. Three or four days a week I see an accident at least one of those entrance ramps. When I first got my license back in the 90s I did the same thing, the car in front of me left, I looked to make sure it was clear and luckily my girlfriend at the time was in the car and yelled. I was able to hit the brakes, if not for her I would have crashed. Since that day 20 some odd years ago, I wait for the car in front of me to fully be on the highway before I even look for traffic, just because I know what is going to happen, people always hit the brakes after they start going for whatever reason. Sorry for the long message, God bless and glad you both are safe. And like you said it's the worst time of year to do this with the holidays but hopefully you make out okay. Cars are hard to come by and use car prices are ridiculous. Maybe you get something cheap to get through Christmas and reevaluate in january? But I honestly would not recommend that, going to the whole looking and purchasing things twice it's just more work than it's worth. I had a few vehicles I picked up cheap, went through and resold, hell if I still had one I would just let you use the damn thing for a few months.

But I also know car prices are through the roof and inventories are close to nil, so I very much hope you can get it repaired. On the brighter side, your train footage was absolutely EPIC!!! I have felt the pressure of trains coming through tunnels before, but I've never seen such a stunning visual of the foggy air being pushed out like that. All great shots, and the RDCs were a great catch as well. I very much enjoyed our ride on them last year, and I'm thrilled you finally got to railfan them. Nick and I saw you as we rode by, but there was so much smoke in your video we weren't visible (we shut our window before the tunnel). I'm glad for all of us that 425 is getting 4 more runs this year, and even gladder for you since it gives you a second chance. We know the dates, and I'll send you specifics about the schedules when I learn more. Hope we can catch up for a day of fun with The Blue Beauty before her inspection and overhaul. I'm still learning about the 1,472 day inspection, but the basics are the FRA mandates that every 1,472 a boiler is fired up or 15 years elapse from the first firing, the boiler has to be inspected and re-tubed. No one knows for sure how long it will take, but the best estimates are 6 to 12 months, but possibly longer if they find any major problems. I'll certainly keep you in the loop as I hear more. I hope they let folks visit the steam shop while the work is being done. That might be another fun outing we could do. Anyway, sorry again to hear about the accident. As you've said in other comments, hoping for the best but expecting the worst.

I'm trying to look at the bright side of things from the day and the situation. Definitely happy I can see #425 next month. That Definitely brightened my mood.

The train footage was awesome, especially coming out of that fog-filled tunnel! I'm just so sad that it may have cost you your car. Hopefully, it can be repaired. I can only imagine your mental state of mind at the moment and I pray you can overcome the trauma. RJ must also have a deep feeling of regret since it involved you. Certainly thankful that neither of you were badly hurt. Look forward to seeing the Blue Beauty before its retirement.

Aw Jay sweetheart please don't say you are no longer a safe driver .... Let me tell you that some evil drivers stop for no reason so the driver behind gets into trouble so they can claim on the insurance. I am so sorry this happened to you both, you are such sweet, nice guys. This happened to my husband as someone went into the back of him and he had severe whiplash and like you he was very shook up and he is also a good driver. I do hope you feel much better soon, and I wish I was there to comfort you as a friend. I was straight on this video when I saw your title and thumbnail. Sending you and R.J. positive vibes and hugs. God bless you and I am so glad you both got out of that nasty crash ok and not seriously hurt. You have God to thank for that and its great news that you can still see your favorite steam train again In December. Nice shots by the way, well done. Everything will be ok ...

I was thinking along those lines myself especially if they saw the wave on. Thinking that truck is not going to stop for sure now. That or they are one of those people who simply like to do brake checks to be a jerk.

Glad to hear that nobody was hurt. That’s the most important part! On the brighter side will you be purchasing a blue vehicle if the white one is totaled ?
