You walked home 5 miles after that?! Holy crap!! I would say go buy a lottery ticket, but I think you have used all of your good luck for the next several years!!

Glad you weren't seriously hurt or worse!!!

Wow that looks bad. How many times did it roll? Is that your blood on the crushed in headliner? That looks like a large intrusion to the cabin....so much for the A pillar helping you out. Were you able to brace for the hit?

Oh my gosh... thats got to be the worst crash i've seen on here since I joined in 07'.
You are very very lucky guy.
Can't believe the police didn't offer to take you home!

Glad you're ok... Im sure you felt it the next morning.

WOW back in 2003 me my wife & son rolled 3 times on interstate & A pillars didn't collapse at all.

Now our 03 Disco was just recently hit at a stop sign by two vehicles with my wife & dog in it. Not too much damage really though.

Hope you are OK.

Default Thanks, yes i am OK.

Took the Police almost 1-1/2 hours to find the scene.

I waited like 30 to 45 mins before I I started walking.

The doc gave me a clean bill of health,I am doing some massage therapy and chiropractic treatment.

Lucky, man I am.

But the point I make is although the disco was dependable over a 3 year period i can not say I would buy another.
