The double cab got rear ended today

Well I'm ticked off [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Karen and I decided to drive the truck down to Lithia springs this morning and play in the water.
We had a nice time and about 1:30 we decided to leave but before we did we wanted to check out the campgrounds.
An RV pulled out in front of us and heads down the little one way road. Only problem is he forgot to secure the bike to his rack on the rear he hits a speed bump and the bike comes loose and is hanging on by one hook.
We are doing maybe 15 mph so I blow my horn to get him to stop, he hits the brakes and stops and So do I only problem his wife who was hauling butt on her scooter didn't and ran into the left rear corner of the double cab when I get out she is raising Cain ( in mostly Spanish) wanting to know why I stopped and made her run into the truck! I
tried talking to them and couldn't make sense out of what they were saying so we called the park rangers to call the sheriff but he won't come because of private property so rangers try to help. They finally get info from her husband and he starts saying the damage to the back of my truck wasn't caused by the scooter and the insurance card is from 08 I feel a hassle coming!

The damage doesn't look real bad until you start looking at the corner close. Of course she also had to put the brake lever into the new funky green metal tailgate I bought last year at bug jam and put a nice dent and scratch in it. I Figure $500 to fix and paint everything so I am really looking forward to dealing with the Insurance companies (if they even have any) tomorrow [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I'm so sorry to hear about that Tom. That really sucks! I hope that everything goes well for you when you talk to them. Keep us posted.

Thanks Mike it's not the end of the world I can fix it when I redo the truck this fall.
It just irks me that the driver was mad at me for stoping and some how it's my fault, If they would have said sorry I probably would have dropped the whole thing

Holy CRAP !! that sucks.. This is what they need

Most people wont except responsibility for their actions, and IF they do they try and spin off some to you. People suck.

Glad the damage was light Tom. From your description, I had visions of the motorhome embossing it's grill on the back end of the DC. To bad she didn't
embos her face in the same spot.

Well a good thing happened this evening.
The owner of the scooter called and wants to do right and pay for damages!
I hope we can work something out as I checked and he has no insurance on the scooter.

I'm off tomorrow and will go get a couple of estimates done and get back with him.

Unbelievable!

Did the rangers make up some sort of report?

Where r the cops when u need them?

If this would have happened to me I think I might have done something I would've regretted later!

I hate people that try to stick their own dumbness and inability to drive to others!

I hope all works out well for you Tom!

We'll see you in Brooksville!

When is the next Brooksville cruise in?

Spent Friday morning on the truck
Repainted the bumper worked part of the dent in the corner out without hurting the paint and touched up the bare metal ]
Waiting on a check from the driver of the scooter.
If it comes I'm going to use the money tobuy the paint for the truck.
Guess I'm going to have to find a couple of doglegs and break out the welder and fix some rust as soon as it cools down a little,
