Ohh shit! Aside from sucking that is a ridiculous scenario and an awesome "how my car got totaled" story. Hopefully you get fully compensated.

HA! What luck. That sucks man. Your car doesn't look too roughed up though. A friend of mine had his parked S13 hatch run over by some drunks in a truck 2 new years ago. His car was toast, yours looks like it might be ok.

South LA -- A surprise end to a pursuit in South LA on 223rd and Normandie Tuesday night. Two men suspected in a possible shooting in custody after a high speed chase. The suspects lost control and crashed into a parked car before rolling and flipping over. No one was hurt.too bad the people in the SUV didnt die....

post pics of the damage,I can't image much more than new fenders and doors from the looks of the video...

wow .. that was intense.. post more pix when you get the chance.. i would like to see them

Watch carefully, the impact also causes the 240 to slam into the red car behind it. Also, the hood looks fucked up from the video.

i'd say it's fixable.

not cheap, but fixable.

hours and hours on the frame rack for sure.

dunno if i'd want to make a race car with that chassis, but probably ok for daily still.

Also, the hood looks fucked up from the video.I see the 240 hit the car behind it (so say either ziptie the bumper together or replace that as well since its the other person's fault) but the hood wasn't hit (atleast not visibly form the camera angle that is used), I think thats a shadow.

If insurance screws you, which they might, sue the police dept. I didn't watch the video but most police chases are pointless on the ground and they could have easily followed by helicopter to wherever the guy is going. Just an idea to a fellow Nissan guy so you come out on top.

i feel worse for the car that got the first impact. the impact on yours isn't bad at all.

let us know how it all ends, i'm sure it will all end positively for you in the end.

I thought it flipped onto your car...like a sandwich.

Your car, or future car, will be ok, due to insurance.

I can only hope that they're locked up somewhere.

dude that video's awesome. chopper cam. only thing cooler than that is helmet-cam.

Suspension Cam > Helmet Cam > Chopper Cam

your car is cool now because it was on FOX!

It's a ploy by the conservative controlled media to distract us from the crimes of our current president...

damage pics!

Word.


Anyhow, I don't know what I find more chilling: the news footage or the fact that you actually parked a 240 on the street in that neighborhood.

01-03-2008, 01:40 PM
Move the video to the 240 crashvideos!!! FTW

01-03-2008, 02:44 PM
Wow thats fuckin nuts. Sue the asshats who hit your car before trying to sue the police dept. The cops don't really deserve that, but the assholes who hit your car do.

01-04-2008, 12:34 AM
would of been sort of funny if you were actually watching the chase on the news and as it hits your car you would have said mmm there is something similar about that hood and the car hehehehe ..... but jokes aside thats sucks hopefully u get something back from ins

Kaizen.
01-04-2008, 12:42 AM
Sorry to hear bout that man.

On a side note, that has be one of the coolest ways to total your car. No damage towards your self and you get air time.

You should probably keep it, I've seen worse get fixed.

I mean, who here can say that their car has been on TV as a part of a high speed chase?
Your car kills crime and eats it.

Insurance will probably write it off. Take the money but keep the car. Part it out and come out and make some $$$. Get another chassis and swap your parts over.

man that sucks..insurance will prolly cover it..

01-04-2008, 12:13 PM
That's insane. You should definately not have to pay anything on this (unless you buy back the remains).

I'm not totally sure, but I think there is something about property damage that is caused by police chases. You might want to get some legal advice on the subject to see what they owe you ;)

Good luck with it all.

YEAH, sorry about that...to bad to hear...at least you have PROOFaka video for insurance company, they can be ghey sometimes...

once once a police officer see's a person ENDANGERING the public they MUST let the subject flee...SAFELY

HAHA! WOW!! Sorry about that but I know your pain. My car was involved in a very similar situation back in October. My car was parked outside my house one night (as it usually is) while I was at my cousin's birthday party who happens to live a few houses up the street. We were all getting drunk in the house when a few of us decide to go to the front yard to have a cigarette.

All of a sudden we hear tires screaching coming from the direction of my house and BAM car runs into one of the cars parked outside my house. Three guys run out of the car and head down the street. Cop was on the scene immediately (he had just started the pursuit a minute before the accident). We go over to the house and there's a Toyota 4Runner on top of my sister's Lexus. The car was also smashing up against my car and my car had smashed into the back of another party-goer's Accord.

My car was totaled by my insurance company and although I only had liability, I also had uninsured motorists coverage as well. The insurance company gave me the max allowable under my policy which wasn't much but it was more than what I bought the car for. My sister was even more fortunate because she was planning to sell her car for far less than what her insurance paid out.

BTW, the guys who crashed into our cars were wanted for stealing the 4Runner earlier that night, then held up 2 different people, killing one in the process. Fortunately they did not go into my house or was there anybody outside on my porch at the moment.

Accident:
