1999 XLS Ford Explorer hit by Cadillac
Bayamón, Puerto Rico

   

On October 21,2000 at 7:30pm I was parked in a intersection with a red light in the city of Bayamón, Puerto Rico. Like 10 seconds after I stopped, I jumped-back on my seat (It felt like I was on a roller coaster). I didn't know what was happening until I fell again "in reality" when I realized that somebody crashed a car on my 1999 XLS Ford Explorer (I changed the explosive Firestone tires before this accident). I got out to see what happened and I saw the white 1984 Cadillac crashed like 10 feet besides where my truck stopped after the crash. Everybody was looking at me... "Holy Mother!!!" I turned back and I saw what that car did to my truck.

When I came back to my truck to call my dad I noticed that I couldn't see my seat. "Where's my seat?". When I opened the door, the seat's back was broken because of the impact. Everything I got in the rear seat flew to the trunk. Later, when a man came to "help" I told him that I was allright and my truck runs. And when I point to my truck I noticed that I smashed my front to another car that run away...WHY??(Don't know)... The owner of the Cadillac was drunk and all wet on his pants (you know what I mean). I got a big back pain for a week. His car din't have a private insurance so he pay me $4,000 in cash and $3,000 of the public insurance. And I lived happily ever after.
