Well ya'all the Jeeps a goner. I totalled it Saturday evening. Was camping with my brother and my son Jack up at Jackson Meadow Res. We were exploring a fire road, came around a corner, the back spun out, I tried to correct it and when I did it took us up an embankment. The Driver tire hit first then threw us over and ended up on the driver side. The roof came down and hit me in the head pretty hard. I was actually stuck for a minute. My head and back hurt and I ahve a few scrapes. My son and brother are good to go, no scratches, only a couple of small bruises.
My wife and buddy picked us up and brought us home this morning. I ahve to be honest, it really freaked me out. We hit hard and fast, I wasn't going more than 25, it felt like we shot into the embankment. If my son wasn't with me I probably wouldn't be as freaked out. Having your little one in the car with you when you get into a wreck adds another level of stress and anxiety I can't explain. The first thing I told my brother was get Jack out of the car. His seat belt wouldn't release so I forced myself out of the spot I was in (probly why my neck hurts) and got my son out.
The Jeep is at a tow yard in Portola Valley near Sierraville. So now comes the fun part of dealing with the insurance company. No biggy though - not worried about that.
In the over all scheme of things all that matters is my boy isn't hurt.
I guess you could call this Clay Part 2 eh......
