Just cleared the accident scene, wife was driving our Excursion and rear ended a vehicle on the freeway after another vehicle had stopped in front of that one. Thankfully she is ok, not even a scratch. Sadly, the Excursion will be totaled I'm sure.

Now comes dealing with the insurance company and hopefully getting a decent settlement for it. Thankfully we still had full coverage on it. Unfortunately, we probably won't be looking for another Excursion. We loved the size and the space when we got it, but now our needs have changed.

Will update this thread as the insurance process plays out.







Pretty bummed, but glad the wife is ok.

 

Glad she's ok!Sorry about the truck though!

 

It doesn't look that bad, a few new parts, a wash and wax, its good as new.

 

So sorry to hear this, but glad to hear that the wife is fine. Did the airbags deploy? It definitely looks like there's frame damage.

 

That stinks! Thank goodness everyone is safe, which in the end is the only thing that matters.

 

No airbag deployment, which struck me as odd. Figured they would have tripped...

For those that don't know, I looked for a long time before buying this Ex. I had to have one that was a southern car, 2WD, V-10, and 2nd row captains chairs.... took awhile before this one came along. Enjoyed 4 years of fine service from it.

 

Glad she is ok

That will just buff out !!

 

NOOOOOooooo

What is it with Texas and X's lately... mine, yours, and two others from a local group...

Glad your wife is safe and not hurt. My airbags didn't go off either, neither did the other two rigs. I know they have a situational deployment to prevent harm rather than good, but it's been a variety of accidents now and not one deployment. I wonder what's up with that.

My insurance process took about two weeks with Geico. Just keep in mind once they total it, the claim is closed and the rental coverage goes away. Main downside to a total write off... emergency car shopping

 

Glad your wife is ok and sorry about the X.

 

Damn glad your wife is ok!

Hope everyone else was too.

PS - I'm impressed. 10 posts and not a single vulture-post yet.

 

Sorry to hear, glad all are well.

 

Not sure... maybe it's this miserable weather.

Thankfully I have take home work car and we have an old Scion so there is no need for a rental car or emergency car shopping. Already toying around with something like an 06-09 Lexus GX470 for a replacement if the Excursion does indeed get totaled.

Will keep the thread updated.

 

I do like the wheels.

Bummer on the wreck, glad wifey came through OK. Collision like that and it's good to be in the larger vehicle!

 

Glad to note that your wife, and possibly others are all safe. Sad to see the fate of the EX.

 

Glad to hear that your wife is OK, very sorry to see such a nice EX get wrecked.
