Default Wrecked!!

This happened Dec. 27 on the way home to Phoenix to my 2012 Suburban 2500 4 X 4. Repair cost is at $20K and about 4 weeks in the body shop. It did not bend the frame. If you go into the You Tube page, you will find footage from the front camera.

Gotta love the big *** SUVs. I'm glad you were not injured.

What camera setup do you run? I just put a dash cam in my Tahoe as well.

After viewing the rear cam footage, I thought you rolled it over and thought, wow, no frame damage after that...impressive. Still impressed though, with the repair bill especially. Yikes! Glad you guys were able to walk away from it.

Wow, that sucks. Sorry for your loss.

Don't forget to file a diminished value claim with your insurance company as well.

That was crazy. Glad you guys were ok. Good thing for the dash cam I'm sure it helped with filing an insurance claim.

wow, im glad you guys are ok. The audio of when you got hit made me cringe. Im surprised 20k of damage wasn't high enough to total the vehicle. I too am in to know what your dash cam setup is, very nice video quality. And now you have evidence of what happened and can prove anyone right or wrong, if need be.

After the collision, we were able to drive it home...had a "slight" air leak at the back.
