RIP 03 GMC sierra

[cool 300ex]

Last night i was on my way home to go to bed. So i could be up to go to truck Carlisle. I ened up falling asleep and the truck went up and enbankment and get some trees. I was in shock and got myself out of the truck. Everyone who came to the scene cant beleave i was alive and got out on my own. I sprained my knee and i am on crutches, i got 2 broke knuckles, some bumps on my forehead, and minor cuts.

[KXRida]

Saw that on your myspace. Glad to hear you're ok man. Like the other guy said, trucks can be replaced.

[rooster300ex]

Man i'm for sure glad your ok, but if you were that tired why did u get in a vehicle? I drove from wyoming to oklahoma and I had to stop several times because I felt like I might fall asleep. *shakes head* I just don't understand it.

[blacknblue#2]

when i saw that first pic i thought "Ah that aint terrible" then i scrolled down and was like HOOOOLLLYYYY SHEEEEET. man you are lucky

[Which 450?]

wow dude, you are one lucky sob!!!

[nakomis0]

I'm glad your ok, but..

your a douche, accidents happen

[Sjorge450R]

damn!!!! Good thing your alright. From the first picture I was like damn. Then I saw the passenger side and I couldnt believe you walked away from that. Your lucky man. You know what they say though. Driving tired is just as bad as driving drunk.

[cool 300ex]

Here's pic at 1:00AM on the scene.

I forgot to tell the whole story. I felt the truck hit the hillside by the time i opened my eyes it all happened so fast. First thing i did was look for my cell phone but it fell to the floor on impact. I saw the dash light said low fuel or something like that. Then i smelled something burning so i had to get my self out of this thing my drives door would not open. I grabbed the steering wheel pulled my legs up then hoped into the back seat and got out.

I was in shock i then ran down the road to the nearest house 400 feet away. I beat the **** out if the door rang the bell and everything now one would get up. Then i saw lights coming then flagged the guy down. It turned out to be an EMS and he said wow were you in that. I said yeah and he told me sit down because i was going crazy. He then radioed into the local fire department. I called my mom and dad right away then. I can't beleave it happened only 1.5 miles from my house. I was so close to home i thought i could make it. I think i had my seat belt on i can't remember. I normally always were my seat belt.

[extremeblastr]

glad to hear your ok sad to see the truck go though. any of it covered?

[RIDEREDson]

Glad you're ok. They say majority of accidents happen within short distance of your home.

[XCRacer236]

wow man. you have someone lookin out for you. glad your alright. take it as a life lesson. although i dont think you have to hear that from someone on the internet.

[roundsy]

saw this earlier over at FSC...blew my mind then and blew my mind again when i saw it here...that was a nice truck.

Haha, yes they do and they happen alot more often to dumb people.

I'm not saying this is the case here but. I fall asleep on accident too... when I'm watching TV! Not driving.

[exrider12]

Just be glad he's ok and get over it. No one needs your smart *** comments.

Accidents happen sure.. But tell that to that driver he smashed into that was on the same road as him... OR their family.......

Don't give me this excuse " oh it didn't happen so we can't treat it that way crap" ... Just because you didn't hit anyone while you were doing a DUI does that make it right to drive drunk.. Driving while your tired is the same as driving under the influence...

I feel bad that he wrecked his truck and hurt himself.. But it could of be a lot worse and he could of killed someone including himself.. He is very lucky..


James

[MX300ex]

wow. your very lucky

[coryatver]

WOW. if you just showed me that pic i would have thought whoever was in that wreck isn't around anymore. LUCKY! add that to the list of hard lessons learned lol

[cool 300ex]

I had full coverage on the truck. I have to see what i get for it tomorrow.

I was only a 1.5 miles from my house it takes like 3 mins to get there from my house. If i was 50 miles away yeah i would have stoped. I was that close to home i thought i could make it. I see were your coming from and that your telling me that it was wrong. But at the same time i dont want to be called a dumb *** or a piece of ****. It is not like i did it on purpose. I hope you are wise enought to see my point of view to.

[Tommy Warren]

If it was a Dodge you would be in the driveway buffing out the scratches right now:blah: glad your okay. maybe you should put a louder radio in the next one:p

No I do understand where your coming from.. S%$^ happens and I know you said that you were 3 mins away from your home, but it only takes 1 sec to change someone's life forever... You didn't think it would have been a problem, but you totalled your truck and messed your self up.. I think that is punishment enough..

To bad about the truck though.. It was a sweet looking ride...

Your lucky that you weren't killed or hurt worse.. I'm not going to tell you that your a dumb *** or whatever, because I'm not your father and I'm sure your old enough to make sound decisions.. I'm just glad you didn't hurt yourself worse or get someone else hurt...

James

[jcv400ex]

Wow, first pic is deceiving!! Just be glad you didn't have a passenger and that you hit on that side! You are lucky as hell!!!!

[Robin Hood]

Glad you're ok bud. Too bad for the truck though.

Try blasting some music or leaving the window open if you're tired. Anything to keep you awake. The last thing you want to do is get comfortable when you're dozing off in the drivers seat.

[born2ride14]

I am glad you are ok, the truck can replaced plus its probably time for something different LOL.

[8my_Cash]

i know for a fact that the insurance company wont give him the value of the aftermarket goodies he had on the truck...wheels, tires, lift, etc but they will give the blue book value of a stock 03 gmc with x number of miles on it.

thats just how insurance works.

Well i got good news all the way around so far. I saw a specialists for my hand. He said that there isn't much they can do for broken knuckles. But he said i can take the splint off some and move the fingers. I still have some swelling i was told to just use it easy and to come back next week. He said he is probley going to issue 3 weeks of light duty. So he gave me 3 weeks off work.

I saw the specialists for the knee. I was told to loose the crutches and knee brace. There is some swelling do to fluid. It should go away on its own. He said start to use it as normal just don't go crazy at first. Such as walking 3 miles or lots of steps. It is still all sore and i limp alittle.

State Farm called and went over all the options with me. Z71 off road package, 4:10 gears, posi, 5.3L, two tone paint,power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power seats, bucket seats with center console, single cd player, rear defrost, dual climate control, automatic dimming rear view mirror with Compass & Temperature. There's probley some things i forgot they said if anything isn't on the list to let them know and they will pay for it. He thought it was only a 3" lift kit i told him it was a 6". They wanted $550 if i took the wheels and tires off. One if bent and cracked so i told them keep them. They wanted to only give me $75 for my duals so i gave them the stock and cut them ones off.

I think they payed me for the lift, tires, and hood even tho i didn't claim them on the insurance. They ened up giving me $16,060 and 10 cents. Now i got to wait for the check. I am thining about an 01-04 cummins. I did find a 2002 extended cab similer to mine only a step side with 38,000 miles for $9,995. I am thinking about buying it and then building it to what i had.
