Bernd,
Glad to hear you came out ok at least medically, with minimal truck damage.
Well, guess that's debatable too! :'B Best part was hearing the other
driver got caught trying to run. Hope they nail them good! It's a shame
people won't own up to their actions.

Subject: DML: Got nailed today....
Yup...I got nailed today while taking Jordan to school....
This "person" lost control of his little sh-tbox Nissan Sentra (mid 80's
model) and literally made a left turn right in front of me (raining -
Mopac/185 southbound). Hit the brakes to slow down but couldn't get out
of his way. Hit him with the grill in the driver door and center post
(4-door) at 35mph. Now to make things even more fun...an APD officer
(Austin Police Department) was about 80 yards ahead on the side of the
expressway...saw the whole thing...even watched the guy DRIVE AWAY!!
(Hit and Run)
Truck needs a new fender, bumper, and headlight assembly...but NO damage
to the frame, engine, or suspension. Total cost for parts: $400. God I
love full frame trucks!! :) I checked the bumper supports, radiator
supports, and frame...no damage, bends, kinks, scratches, etc. Even the
grill is fine! (WOW)
