Like it says I was in a bad wreck on hwy 29 in Lawrenceville Friday night on my way home from work. I got hit in the drivers door by a Chevrolet Suburban that was going 45-50 mph. I am fortunate to be alive seeing as though I wasn't wearing my safety belt. On the same note, the police said if I was I probably would have a damaged spleen or broken left leg. I went to Statewide towing today and the only thing that really saved me was the side impact beam. The cab is destroyed, bed is trashed, seats are tweaked, windshield smashed (from my head) I can't see out my left eye from all the swelling on my head. I am fortunate to be here, thanks for letting me share.

Hate to hear that man. Hopefully the other driver is at fault and you'll be compensated for the loss of the truck.

Glad to know you came out in one piece. Hopefully the injuries will heal quickly and you will be out shopping for a new Lightning.

Damn bro, sad to see another lightning off the road. Yours looked pretty damn clean too. Good luck with your recovery. Sounds like you made out okay, considering.

Thanks for all the support. As much as I'd love to get into another Lightning, I feel I am going to go another route and buy either a Toyota Tundra or Nissan Titan 4 door. This way I can focus efforts on the coupe and bike.
