Wow that was shocking and horrible, but at least there were no major injuries. Cars can be replaced but not people. Sorry for the loss of your beautiful LS 400 though. Also the golf stuff.

I hope you are able to get serious insurance compensation for your loss and a nice replacement ride.

As soon as I saw the title of the thread, I imagined where this was going...

Sorry for your loss, though very happy that you weren't in the car. I wonder how fast the truck was going...

BTW, the truck driver was formally charged today and his license revoked indefinitely. He allegedly had quite a driving record even before this... His license was last reinstated last summer.

The roads are full of reckless and clueless idiots in this state.

Dude you go to BU?

That's beyond words. Glad you are safe.
Seeing that, my rear end bump from the other day is a piece of cake.

Glad you are ok bro!!

but My god, who was behind the wheel of that truck?

Taking out 7 cars...not slowing down...flipping vehicles onto pedistrian walk ways...

I see alot of money in this case. There will be the car owners, but also your typical "I almost got hit with a flying car" idiots who were 100 yards away from the scene.

Jeesh. Looks like your LS took a trip to Baghdad!!

Glad you are OK. Pretty exciting to get your LS on the news, though, even though it was under such bad circumstances...LOL.

enjoy the new GS and whatever other cool stuff this guy's insurance will pay for.

Holy boston baked beans batman! LOL
That poor LS is literally toast! Sorry for your loss. As I see it, with the driving record that guy has, he shouldn't have been allowed to steer a grocery cart let alone get behind the wheel of a truck that size!
