Pic of my 3 cars in driveway hit from dumptruck!



I live on a steep hill. If you look on the right side of pic you can just see my neigbors back deck which sits 10 feet off the ground. It's actually a good thing it hit the cars (you can't see the 3rd one) because it would have tore off about 10' of the corner of my house and I would have only been an arms length away on the couch as it came through the house.

They (punks) had not even curbed the wheels. I actually walked up to them a few houses up the hill and asked, "Say did you guys park a dump truck out on the street...well it just took offf and hit 3 cars." The look on their face was priceless.

Somewhere I have a pic of the driver calling his boss on the cell phone to tell him. I'll have to find it. That is a pic of someone having a bad day

The mustang was messed up pretty good, crushed it down kind of. Lving on this hill for 30 years I've had my share of metal get hit for various reason.

And I can top the above with a freak accident my wife had in the yard. About 3 years ago she got knocked down in the yard from a tire bouncing down the hill. It came off a van that had just had 4 new tires put on. She broke two bones in her hand and screwed up her back and shoulder. She heard it coming, turned to look but it was too late....

It could have been a lot worse. The truck could have hit that sappling instead of the Mustang!

I never realized it was so dangerous to live on a hillside.

killer I suspect you better hurry up and file what ever you need to file because a lot of construction companys are usually broke or in the red. Good Luck and I'm relieved no one was hurt...A.H

Well there was one hurt > Just A Car you o.k. ?

You can put a lien on their vehicles/equipment and even the owners' home if need be.

I'm doing better... I blew through 100 rounds of ammo today with a buddy from opencarry.org. (some .40S&W, some .308, and some 7.62x54R)
