Wifey and 2 other cars got plowed by a drunk driver about 2 hrs ago on her way home from work. 99% sure there is frame damage. Sucks because I bought of the original owner and it ran like a champ. Wifey refused to go to hospital but now she is getting very sore. So we will probably be going tonight or tomorrow. Kid was driving on a revoked for DUI, was drunk today and they found drugs on him. Wouldn’t tell us what type of drugs. My Wife said he got out of car had no shoes on, and no shirt on. Put his shirt and shoes on, grabbed a bunch of stuff and put in a book bag and took off. Schaumburg cops found him hiding in Starbucks. He was driving the white Lexus and is insured thru State Farm. Pics to follow.
Wife has never been in a car accident. In the last month she has been hit twice

So the plot thickens and is un fucking believable.
I sent Angela an email and waiting to get her thoughts.
Schaumburg PD called the wife last night while I was at the Cubs game.
Apparently it wasnt the drunk kids fathers car it was his GF fathers car.
Now the GF and her father are claiming this kid stole the car from them.
Cop from Schaumburg said she is 1000000% sure its bullshit and will do everything in her power to not let that happen. The cop thinks by them doing that, it will not hold their insurance liable for the 3 cars he plowed in to.
6/21 update
Allstate is accepting all liability for the accident. The father and daughter both said the BF stole the car, but both had 2 different stories, lol. Upon further questioning and I’m sure some threats to arrest the daughter for fraud she admitted she let him drive the car. So all of that was on the police report, Allstate could not deny liability after that,lol. Adjuster was at my house earlier today before we got the good news. He seems to think it’s repairable, I don’t see that happening. Rear passenger door hangs and rubs very bad when opening and closing and the 1/4 panel wasn’t hit. Drivers side front door does it as well but not nearly as bad and the front fender has no damage. Not an expert but that makes me think frame damage. So anyway it goes to my choice of body shop tomorrow and I get a rental until fixed or totaled out.
6/29 update
Well after a bunch of back and forth with the body shop. I just rcvd a call from Allstate and they are going to total it out. No buy back price yet as I have to wait for the person who handles the financials of totaled vehicles to call me back and issue a check. But I'm getting more than what I paid for the truck 6 months ago. Didnt know they gave you tax/title/registration when totaling a car out.
$6053 for the truck
$655 for tax/title
$120 for registration
