Lost our Blazer to a careless driver.
Yep - No time to react to his careless descision last night.
My wife and I both went to the hospital and got all kinds of x-rays and my wife and I are ok, but a little sore and still shocked.
60~76 MPH combined speed at imapct and then hit a pole and spun around it before coming to a stop.
Thank God our two-year-old was still at the sitters. We were on our way to pic her up.
The impact was enough to shatter my front wheel and blow the passenger door skin completely off of the Honde Civic.
Again, we are OK.
P.S. Always tie down(I sure did) your gear in the back and have some rock sliders made... I firmly believe it kept the Honda Civic from crushing in the driver's side door!

The driver of the Civic raced through a left turn yield on green. Funny part was, the guy that went before him cut it closer than I like so I blew my horn and flashed the high-beams at him.
Last thing I remember was seeing the second car's headlights being eclipsed behind my sideview mirror and then a lot of noise and smoke. We went airborn spinning around and then into the pole that the traffic light was on. Then we spun around the pole. Both of us were facing the complete opposite direction we were traveling.
Our tire left a NASCAR style tire rub mark up by the rear quarter window - Both the passenger side windows were blown out and the door skin too.
