I'm going to be driving the Yaris A lot more again (ROLLED JEEP) - Toyota Yaris Forums

darthbauer · 03-27-2009, 11:28 PM

Like the title says, I rolled my new jeep... like 3 or 4 times I think. My shoulder is all messed up from the seat belt and the top of my head is cut up from it hitting the ground while rolling (top was down). Other than that im fine. I will post pics of the Jeep when I get some. She is done, not a panel that is not dented or scratched or bent, rear axle is bent from hitting the curb sideways at 40mph.

glad you're ok and I hope you heal up soon!

That just doesn't sound good at all. Sorry about your accident mate. Really glad you could make it out of there and were able to type that in here now.

Ohhh snap. what the hell happened? Oh man I'm glad you are ok. Wow, not sure what to say.

LtNoogie · 03-27-2009, 11:33 PM

Either i spaced for a sec or I was following to close and the big ass flatbed truck in front slammed on his breaks to turn and I swerved left to miss him then swerved back right to straighten out and then almost hit someone back in the right lane so then went back left and hit the center divider sideways. So I flipped across the on coming traffic into the bike lane and on the sidewalk and stopped on my driver side.

Indeed. I'm almost turned off of Jeeps for right now. Almost. I dont think I would mind if it was a trailer queen.
