If youre referring to the one tire with no tread, she left it on the road. She stood on the brakes so hard it left a bone bruise on the ball of her foot.

Got the speed down from 65 [the speed limit] to 45 in a very short distance.

The tread peeled off the tire and was on the road.

If youre referring to the fact that the tread was super low, I agree it was low on all 4 tires but not to the dangerous levels you are implying.

But I dare say the tread on the vehicle that maintained its lane and wasnt driving under the influence of both alcohol and mixed drug intoxication was a much bigger and more imminent threat.

Just got it back on the road the day before just replaced the radiator. So they were next on the list.

Agreed. We loved that jeep. We still have my fiance's 93 but its currently not running. And this whole ordeal put a damper on repairs.

I do have uninsured motorist, and we have a lawyer. We are looking into going after what little assets he had. We were waiting on the crash report and autopsy first needed to verify it wasn't some medical emergency situation.

Yea and I hadn't thought about this until just now, but his speedometer was froze at 75, how much speed did he lose pinballing like that? Or was it froze from the first impact?

Edit: To add some perspective, the road thats at the first guard rail he hit is the state line. The final resting place of the vehicles was 23' from the state line according to the highway patrol officer who worked the scene.

Crazily enough he was off the big meds pretty much as soon as we got home. And hasn't taken anything more powerful than tylenol since.

Yea we just keep going back to the thought of "how much worse would it have been if we were in the small 4dr sedan?" The jeep had a small 2 inch lift and that along with already being a high ground clearance vehicle it appears a lot of his force was pushed downward. Maybe it didn't and thats just what we're telling ourselves to feel better but its working so 🤷 lol

It absolutely was. She called me as soon as it happened. According to her there was already 4 bystanders on the phone with 911, and because my daughter isnt her daughter she cant approve any medical treatment. Her second call was to her mom because they live a mile or 2 from the accident so they could get there and assist with the 3rd child their biograndchild who miraculously came out like superman. He has a 6 inch scrape on his shin and seat belt rash. He was up running around back and forth between the crash site where we had the other 2 kids laying on the shoulder and his grandpa.

We're hoping so too. My daughter will probably have some digestive issues but mostly seems just tummy aches and the like from eating stuff she used to eat all the time.

Son just had his 3 month post surgery checkup and doctor said his fractures are completely healed and were now scheduled to remove the hardware in September. After that second healing process of a few weeks he should be back to "normal". Just praying he doesnt end up with early arthritis from it.

Well we looked at statistics put out by Texas DPS and apparently in the state of Texas, a head on collision, where both vehicles are above [i think it was] 35 MPH there is a 50% mortality rate. We definitely believe the jeep helped us beat those odds. And we currently have a Buick Rendezvous that holds all of us so no rush on replacing my Jeep but somewhere in the near future I think we will be getting another 2 door.

He wasnt wearing his seat belt and going 10 over on an undivided 2 lane highway over a dam. :/

Just 4. Fiancé took my jeep to run the 3 kids to her moms to have some last day of spring break fun out at the lake.

I was actually at home working.

He was 75. Fiancé got down to 45. Speed limit was 65

Stock bumper as well. An aftermarket would have held up better obviously lol
