Passenger side is squished in from the impact, but much less than those NHTSA videos. I could see it tipping if he was making a tight turn & someone hit him, but I wonder if more than 1 other car was involved.RacerZX wrote:Looks like a real gentle tip over, I wonder how he did that...
I prefer seeing these over the other photos that were posted of the mangled PF.

Yeah, it's mine. Waiting for my light to turn green. Once it did, I waited a sec to make sure everyone was gonna stop. Two of the three cars did. I heard him slam on the brakes. I could see him brace for impact. I though I was just gonna get spun around but it just kept going over. It was a gentle tip-over. Unfortunately the other driver is trying to say that I ran the light so I get to go to traffic court to prove he's a liar.....
That sucks! Do the police at least have written reports from other witnesses that will back you up? Speaking of police, did you interrupt the cop (wearing the hat) from his "tagging" of the building behind him?Just_Visiting wrote:Yeah, it's mine. Waiting for my light to turn green.

Bummer. Do you have any pictures when it got flipped back over?
I hate how people won't step up to the plate when it's their fault. That seems to happen every time. I hope it all works out for you.

No new Pathy for me. Approximately $10k worth of damage and they're paying for it. Progressive insures their work as long as I own the vehicle, which won't be much longer now.

Found out a little while ago that my insurance company found him at fault, but his company is saying the same thing about me so it will go to arbitration. My agent says, as nicely as he could, that the other driver is a damn liar. He's trying to say that he was sitting at the red light and that when I ran the light, he struck me. So how is it that a 3-series BMW could accelerated 15 feet and strike me with enough force to roll me over? I even think I'm being generous giving him 15 feet from where he was supposedly sitting at the light before striking me. I can't wait to get him in front of the judge. I'll be out early Sunday morning taking pictures of the intersection to have even more evidence to call him a damn liar.
Are you getting rid of it because of the accident? A good body shop ought to be able to fix that thing up as good as new. Did they check the frame? I'd be shocked if it were bent given the stoutness of our frames.
Good luck with the whole insurance thing. I've been there. It sometimes takes a bit of time before someone with the decision making authority sees that they are full of it.
