Wrecked my 12 dually

Sadly Tuesday night, Aug 28, another vehicle and the dually met in an intersection. Right front corner of the dually.

We are both unhurt. Truck protected me, airbags protected her. My airbags did not go off.

Front lower control arm bent in, and sliced off the oil filter. Expect axle bent too, probably totalled.


911 assist on the nav unit dialed 911 about 10 seconds after I came to a stop

That looks fairly easily fixable to me. It will be interesting to see what your insurance tells you.
