Big SUV vs Little Truck

Had a green light and took off. Someone in the opposite direction decides to make a left right into me. Good thing I was in my Excursion helping a girl move something. Road was 35 but he was easily going 45 and up. His truck had the grill pushed into the motor. All that happened to me was that I got a bruise from the seat belt. You could see a bend in the truck forming a "v" at the place where the bed met the cab. So far, damage is about 7K unless they find something else broke. We shall see later.

He was ticketed for running a red light and OWI. Unfortunately, he lived. Hospital found him with cracked ribs and broken sternum. He also has no medical insurance so his hospital tab will be picked up by those who can pay. Would have been cheaper on us all if he didn't live but oh well. Another woman went to render aid and said he was smelling of booze. Wife was nosy enough to keep his airways clear.
