Pete M Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 My mom is ok but the Durango is... not. So unless I'm able to use the eventual rental this trip will have to be on pause for an undetermined amount of time. Technically I'm still heading to Michigan, but only for my doc appts. I'll be contacting everyone personally later in once we're back from x-rays. Apologies for the inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1987Comanche Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Glad everyone seems to be ok. Hopefully the ER trip is uneventful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Oh no. Sorry to hear that. Don't worry about us and our stuff, worry about your people. Were you in the vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Just her. She might have fractured something in her wrist, but she's going to be super sore all over either way. She's getting the x-rays right now. Thankfully my dad is on the mend from his lung infection and I'm on an upswing from my body's usual stupidity. 2 weeks ago this would have been far more of a hardship. But we'll take good care of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Ooof, hopefully she gets healed up quick. That looks like an expensive one to fix too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 oh, I'm pretty sure it's totaled. but I'm not an expert. the front doors still both work perfectly. mom stayed at the hospital for observation for some "minor" brain bleeding. still waiting on the results of the morning CT scan to see if it got better or worse. and there have been 3 times in the last 10 years I've wanted dash cam footage and only one of those 3 times was the card readable. and this was the most important one of the 3. I got nothing. damn. it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chip shortage might work in your favor of actually having it fixed. As long as the engine can still turn over and run, it might get fixed. But hot damn that’s a good hit. Here’s to all good things and a quick recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 once I know what's going on with my mom I'll being swing by the durango to see what's up. if the engine hasn't been touched, there might be hope. but at this point I'm already looking up kbb values and starting to see what the used market is like to find another one.

Pete M Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 as it was explained to me, minor is "we're keeping you in ICU to see if it gets better or worse in the next 24 hrs". major is "we're prepping you for surgery". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 brought Mom home today. still very sore but doing fine. Got to visit the Durango today to retrieve our stuff. Doesn't look any better in the daylight, but I popped the hood and the engine doesn't seem touched by the impact. for whatever that's worth. might find out tomorrow what the inspector says about it.

The86manche Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Glad everyone was okay and is doing okay! What in the world happened? Red light runner? I'm 99% sure that unfortunately that durango is donezo.. Both rails smoked and swayed. And airbags went off. Big money parts there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
