Wife was driving our 2009 Expedition with our children and mother in law while I was at work. They got t-boned. Everyone is OK. But the Expedition may be a goner. Going to have to wait and see what insurance is gonna do.

My brother just had a head on driving his 06 ford pickup but the Mercedes driver was dead at the scene. Not a fun time for him and his friends but they are alive.

Yes the truck had side airbags. I'll keep everyone posted.

Sorry to hear about your Expedition. See what the body shop says and make sure they check frame alignment before adjuster decides to fix vs total it. The truck did its job protecting your family. Some vehicles do not fare so well in side impact. Let us know how this turns out.

Sorry to hear that you will probably lose a vehicle you were happy with. Glad the family is O.K.

That is a tough angle to get hit from.

Did your vehicle have side air bags?
