Bad bad day
Well today I blew a tire on the jeep. So the wife our 1 year old son and our friend came to rescue me and a idiot kid in his GFs daddy's truck tried to pass 4 other cars plus the wife and ended sort and tried to cut in front of our friend. With that he cut in to soon and hit the brakes and they hit. Our son and friend were ok but the wife was taken from the site and taken to the hospital for a back injury. X-rays were taken and all is good just will be soar for a few days
I got there on pretty much 3 tires as they called and said they had just been in a accident not even 2-3 miles from where I was. So damage to the jeep did not matter to me I needed to get to my wife and son. It is a good thing the cops showed up when they did as buddy just about got a *** kicking he would not recover well from

Wow. Sounds like a crap day, but glad to hear all is well. Good man to not give a f**k about anything other than family. Now get off the internet and go pamper your lady.

That is similar to a wreck i was in a few years ago
I was going through the mountains, just to have a nice day out with my mom and dad. A Chevy 2500HD forced an old Ford F-150 into oncoming traffic, so the ford floored it and brake checked the Chevy. Of course when the Chevy first forced the ford over, they also cut into our Durango's stopping distance. Ford had Frame damage, the Chevy had no more than a dent on the back, and the front bumper was screwed by the fords hitch, and our Durango took the whole impact to it's grill, totaling it.
My Mom who was in the back seat ended up going to the hospital with a possible fractured neck. I was in the front passenger seat and saw the wreck coming so i braced myself, and my side was hit so hard i couldn't get my door open at first.

Some people should not be allowed to drive.

Yeah the most important thing is that everyone is fairly ok. I would have done the same thing you did and just got there even on 3 tires. Looks like a wreck my brother had recently in our Caravan. We only have liability so had to fix it all ourselves but luckily the junkyards are full of green Caravans. Not to detract from the seriousness of your day but how come you needed someone to come rescue you for a blown tire?

Well I had taken the spare tire out dropped it off at the tire shop down the road from me. It needed to be replaced or fixed so I needed some one to. Bring me out another tire I had at the house.

Speaking of wrecks, i was almost in one. Some a**hat decided his Minivan could do 0-45 in 3 seconds, and cut in front of me. I need to check my clutch now, it was smoking really bad after that, since i slammed it in 2nd.
