Rear ended

Was stopped at red light, a caddy doing fifty miles per hour hit me. Rear end. He told the police he was going that fast. The impact hit my trailer hitch. Did sixteen hundred damage, What a truck. Have 2010 f250 turbo king cab, the insurance man said the trailer hitch took the brunt of force. He said every truck should have trailer and receiver on it. Can not say that much for my back ! Have to have surgery on it. So wreck did not help.

That sucks. Glad you're ok. These trucks can take a pretty good smack. The driver of the other car must have never hit the brakes. Usually in smaller cars such as sedans, when they brake, the nose dives and goes up under the bigger pickups.

A year or two ago, another member here has his truck totaled by getting rear ended. That usually NEVER happens.
