James dropped me off at the house before going on to the hobby shop because I wasn't feeling well. Good thing for me, bad thing for him.

Ten minutes later the phone rang: "You're not going to believe it. I just got hit."

Not only did he get hit, he got hit in nearly the same place I got hit six months ago: driver's side door. Another person in an SUV ran the light and hit not only James but at least two other cars. However, the left front wheel is intact. The driver's side door is bashed in (and the window broken) and the front part of the bed of the truck (around the gas tank door) is also bashed in. Whether the suspension is involved we don't know. The impact spun the truck completely around and rammed it up and over the curb, so the front axle may or may not be damaged. (The front end alignment certainly is.)

James is fine except for a crease on the neck from the seat belt, his left arm is stiff, and he's sore. We've called the insurance company and they've already arranged for Enterprise Rent-a-Car to come pick him up Monday morning and get him into a rental car.

The real kicker? He had only two more payments to make on the truck...

Good grief! Has someone painted targets on your cars or something?

Glad to hear James didn't get hurt - looking at the accident, he could have really been hammered. What was it, the driver was drunk or something?
