Exclamation Rip 2008 G37

Cruising back from visiting a friend in the hospital Monday night in the rain, some fool switching lanes cut too short behind me and hit my bumper... My G started spinning and hit a dividing wall with the front, bounced, went over a high curb, bounced again and hit the wall on the rear bumper...
I was shaken up but walked away, was doing 65MPH...
I only have a couple of pics of one side and front the tow driver took.

I'm gonna' buy a new Red 6MT tomorrow; life goes on... RIP G, it was a great ride and may have saved my life... 2 airbags deployed, I have 1 fractured rib but am fine otherwise, just a little sore.

No, he did not!
But many people did stop and stayed with me, called for help and turned in his license plane numbers, they are for a different vehicle no longer registered...
No wonder he fled. I believe Carma will catch up to him.
It's just sad my insurance has to pay for all of this when it should be that other guys responsibility.

I am grateful to all the people that stopped to help me, I was in shock and disbelief... There are still good people all over!

Spinning around at 65 is pretty hair raising and everything is moving in slow mo. Glad the G did it's job and protected you and you can feel fully confident to buy another one and enjoy. Sorry about the accident and enjoy the new one well.
