I was driving a friend and I to a friend's dinner and I was about 10 feet from the crosswalk when the light turned yellow.

I couldn't stop, so I kept going.. didn't speed up or anything.. I just went normally. A car coming the other way decided to turn left and I guess he didn't see me or something.

Anyways, I t-boned him and totalled my parents car in the middle of the intersection.

He was driving this huge ass 2002 Toyota Tacoma. I was driving my mom's 1994 Intrepid. The hood was smashed, the car was leaking coolant, lights were busted, glass everywhere, and the car wouldn't start. The Tacoma only had this tiny little dent in the side.

Everyone was ok, but it was my first accident ever, and I'm just a little shook up I guess. The weird thing is that the guy driving the truck was a really close family friend, and he's known me since I was born.

I'm just glad everyone is OK.

Glad you're OK - good luck getting it sorted.
Strange coincidence but being a family friend will hopefully make it easier to sort out.

Glad to hear you're ok.

I used to have a Tacoma - hard riding trucks, best offroad, built like a tank

Hey, Babe, a most regrettable bit of news. Good to hear noone was seriously injured. I've been to many such accidents and the hardest thing for me is to try and figure out if there is any physical injury when there is so much emotional trauma at that moment. If there is any doubt, have you and your friend check yourselves out with the doctor real good. Sometimes these things come back 6 months to a year later to haunt you. The initial bumps, bruises and soreness can hide more serious stuff.

Good to thing you're OK. I also recently totaled my previous car so I know how you feel.

Glad to see your ok babygrass. Not really a loss when you think about it though. When your parents bought the Intrepid it was already totalled from the factory.
