Car crashed :(

Worse thing that can can to my car just happened tonight when some jackass loads up an unsecured couch and decides to drive his truck in the highway. Of course it somehow lands on my car damaging the front end, scraps the driver side. Air bags deploy and engine won't start. Now the fun starts with the insurance and finding the creep that started this nightmare. At the very least no one was hurt but this ******* should pay!

I usually don't post but I at least wanted to share.

That's really unfortunate man. Sucks to hear that. Luckily it didn't cause anything more than damage to your car. Hope you can get the damage covered. Good luck, keep us posted.

Thanks, I bought some gap insurance when I bought the car new way back in 09. Hopefully the claim will be smooth.

It fell over side somewhere and it somehow landed to the driver's side bumper (which explains why the airbag deployed driver's side and not passenger's side) then damaging the rest of the side of the car. When it happened I didn't know what was going on, its like I hit a phantom car or the engine and airbag exploded at the same time.
I didn't find out what really happened until CHP told me that a couch fell from someone's vehicle and I crashed into that.
Now I have to wait until next week to find out the damages but most likely the car is totaled even though the frames look fine.

yeah with your airbags deploying I would expect a total

So unfortunate and without a responsible owner hopefully your insurance doesn't make a stink that its acts of god or whatever.

Good luck, glad you're okay.

Damn, sorry to hear, and glad you're OK. Hope something good comes out of this for you. Felt similar to you when my sportbike was just jacked last month.

Good thing you bought the gap insurance. I used to work in vehicle financing and I've seen a few occasions where the gap insurance really paid off. (No pun intended.) Hopefully your auto insurance company handles things smoothly.

State Farm handled it well and I got more than money back from the loss than I ever could have selling the bike Using the extra $ for subie mods. I'll buy another bike someday but not in a hurry, though it sucks being bikeless til then.

That's really good to hear.
To me it's frustrating because I went though a lot of trouble going from Stage 2 to stock just to pass smog and pay for all the registration fees since I moved from the east coast to here. I thought about a police report since it's not my fault that a sofa was in the middle of US-50 but I didn't want points on my record. I might contact CHP to maybe find out who was responsible, but I'm more pissed off because of the endangerment I was put in.
Right now I really anxious to find out about my insurance claim.
