Got into an accident due to drunk drivers
 
I was driving down a two lane road with each going opposite ways. The on coming car was a Lincoln Aviator and he was drunk. He didn't have his headlights on and he came into my lane head on. It was too late to see him coming to swerve away.
These are the pictures of the accident. No was was hurt, however, the other guy ran away by foot and left his car there. They found beer bottles in his car.

How much you think it would cost to fix this?

You want your insurance to total it... Pics are poor, but looks like a lot of damage, probably bent frame etc...

Airbags? Car is totaled. Which is ABSOLUTELY what you want....

Main thing is that no one was hurt. and +1 on insurance to total it.

A car is never the same after damage like that. I hope they catch the guy!

:iagree: Car will never be the same again. Have the insurance total it and get a new one.

Both airbags deployed. I'll try to get the insurance to do that.
I hope they they catch him too cause it's scary to have people like that on the road. Lucky his whole driver wheel fell off or else he would have drove away.

You had better be prepared for the insurance... you will probably be shocked at what they say the car is worth.

I'd not say anything to them yet- but DO prepare a detailed market analysis of RETAIL prices for your exact car, every single option....

:iagree: and if airbags deployed then it should be automatically totaled. Did the other car hit and run?

Did you read what the OP said? Dude's driver front wheel fell off and he took off on foot.

Sorry to see that, OP. Good luck with everything and glad everyone is alright.

Well, technically he DID hit and run. On foot that is.
Glad the OP is ok.
