Toyota Sequoia accident 2007/03/26 – I am OK

Written by Terence Chang on March 26th, 2007

Just got really bad auto accident today. I am OK. I am still in shock and in neck pain. Will have x-ray result tomorrow. I am so glad that I was driving this 2003 Toyota Sequoia, otherwise I don’t know what else could happen.

I was heading south and trying left turn with green arrow light on on Arizona AVE and Elliott. I was on lane one and there was a Chevy truck on the lane 2. When the green arrow light is on, we both see no car heading our direction, I hesitated a little. So the Chevy truck pass me and start left turn. While I was in the intersection, I just saw the Chevy truck flew away 360 degree to the other corner of the intersection. Before I realize what was happening, I got hit by the F150 pickup truck on the right front corner of my Toyota Sequoia.

All three of us are not hurt. The F150 front is totally smashed. My Sequoia was not looking good either. The Chevy truck was hit on the rear right corner with fron tired blow out. Now my Sequoia is sitting in the Towing company’s yard waiting for insurance company to check up.

It turns out that the F150 driver is just 19 years old Mexican. At the accident scen, the young boy was even laughing and chat with Cop like buddy. The cop only ask me where I was and not even asking for details.

The you driver don’t even have driver license. What can I do? We will see.

I love this Sequoia so much. It’s only 40K miles. I drove it to camp, hiking and long tour to New Mexico, Colorado, Ulta, California and back to Arizona. Now it’s a junk.

Should I start thinking buying a new car, if it has to be totaled? I would like to get another Sequoia. It’s solid and I feel safe driving it.
