I'm glad everyone was ok. The van driver should be glad to be alive. Sorry about your deuce. If it was a civi I bet you'd be in the hospital or worse.

When I was in Korea in 1994 I was in a M925 Cargo truck coming back from taking chow to the range.

We (the cook and I) were stopped at a one lane bridge waiting on some Korean dump trucks to pass. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw a deuce with a Water Buffalo in a slide headed toward us. Before I could yell "hold on" he hit us.

I was standing on the brakes and he knocked us 30 feet (MP's measured the skid marks). Since we had super singles on the 5 ton he went under us, lifting the back of our truck up. The deuce was totaled.....I touched up the bumperetts of my truck up with a can of OD green later.

When I got back the Platoon Sgt. made us go to the hospital even though I told him I was fine. The next day I felt like I had been hit by a truck (DUH!!!) and I had damage to a couple of my vertebrae. The doc said if we had not had our Kevlars on it would prob have snapped our necks (the helments hit the hardtop and kept our necks from gong back any further).

Bottom line.....go to the doc and have the accident documented....it can help if you have problems later on.

Make his insurance buy you a 900 series 5 tonto replace the deuce...they are cheap now and present a much bigger target.

Just my 2cents.

Glad you are okay. Anytime someone is in an accident like that let them take you to the hospital to get checked out. You never know what you will find out. When some dipwad hit the front of my car at approx 65 I went in and found out I had two fused vertebrae in my neck. Doc said I was born that way.

That sure looks like it put a hurtin' on somebody. Glad that you are okay. You are sure that your stop/turns were active and working, right? I know that it can be easy to forget to turn them on if you're in a hurry.

if it gets totaled, the truck will belong to the insurance company. You can buy it back from them. You don't need to do anything until it is all settled.
