Default death of a 98 blazer

well i havent been on here for a while, mainly because i no longer have a blazer. i killed my blazer about 4 months ago when a large tree limb dropped in front of me and i smacked right into it going about 40-50mph. the blazer was totaled for the most part, body was broken off the frame mounts frame was bent in multiple places etc, motor still ran though but only for a few seconds as the battery was split open in the crash. couldnt post much up about it since i was going to fight the ticket i got in court (failure to have an assured clear stopping distance), the citing officer never showed up to the hearing so the ticket had to be dissmised, an by that time it was 2 or so months after the crash. managed to sell it on CL for around 400 bucks. :end rant:

heres some pics

Bummer on the blazer man...Looks like you needed a stronger brush guard..
