Next time you need a new truck, put in a roll cage, hand your kid an NHRA helmet, and toss him the keys.
The jest in this is only possible because your family made it through alive and relatively unharmed.
So you were blessed, before you became blessed again.

Unless you are driving a smaller car and are looking at hitting a big cow/horse/elk or moose. It's not pretty when you take them out at the legs and the body comes through the windshield. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to driving effectively, but sometimes taking the ditch can be your best option. Cars are replaceable and sometimes you need to consider sacrificing the car to save yourself or others. However, I'm willing to bet you'd be hard pressed to roll an empty and stock SD just by swerving. Something else was going on here....

Have to find who bought the salvaged vehicle (unless the insurance company still has it) and ask them. The poster of the original thread can tell you his insurance company.

I got a call from the insurance company finally yesterday. The pictures I posted here are the same ones I uploaded for the claim. They said they're not sending an adjuster here, they're sending a tow truck to take it to a salvage yard. They'll send someone there to get their own pictures. We live about 2 hours from their closest, a town of 3k people. Same phone call we added the lien holder and got the 10 day pay off. Guess it's time to look for a new one.
As far as the boy, he's a good kid, his mom was the only other one with him, they were both ok. He swerved to miss a deer instead of just smacking it. He's been told over and over growing up and learning to drive that you never swerve, but instincts do what they do.
