Thankfully, I was the only one in the car. I was on my way to pick up my 3-year old daughter.

I was in a dedicated left turn lane (median-divided), turning left across 4 lanes of traffic to turn into a parking lot.

Traffic was at a standstill, bumper to bumper.

The 2 cars closest to me had stopped to let me cross, the third lane car was blocking the drive. I had to wait until traffic continued in front of that guy so he could unblock the drive. The car behind him hesitated on letting me in twice and finally let me in. On the other side of that car is a right-hand turn lane for the parking lot and continues as a turn lane for the Tollway after that. Just as I cleared the 3rd, indecisive car, there was a 2000 Expedition going 45-50 mph almost right on top of me.

We made contact, spun me around 180* clockwise, busted out the passenger glass, snapped my driverside rear wheel off behind the hub and my side-seat airbag deployed and kept me from smashing my head against the window.

No one was severly injured. My lower back has progressively gotten worse as the day has gone by, today. Luckily I have Gap Insurance.

We'll see what happens.

That sucks! Hope you are ok!

That sucks, man. But a prime example of why UPS drivers are discouraged from making left hand turns. Their routes are specifically designed to make almost all turns right hand turns.

I sadly see wrecks occurring like that very often with people waving cars in to cross the traffic.

Glad you are okay.

ALL. THE. TIME! Sorry bout your car. Coyote time!

Witnessed this wreck. People were flagging a guy in the parking lot to my right to come on out and when he did this guy T-boned him and flipped!!! Almost killed this guy.

Haha. I would be lying to you if I said that thought hadn't crossed my mind. I love the 05-09 generation. Waited over a year to find this one. Maybe my next one will have a 5.0L in it.......maybe.

I never trust people flagging me on, I can't even count the number of people that "told me to go" when there was a damn car coming.

 

[retfr8flyr]

That sucks but I'm glad you weren't hurt. Hope everything works out for you to get something new, I also think that one is totaled.

Drives me crazy!! Was turning left out of a gas station and a guy with a box truck was turning left in. It was a squeeze so he waived me on. I motioned like "dude there's a car coming" he flew in after that all pissed and almost took off my bumper.
