I have been following this ever sence I read about your accident. I am truly sorry that this has happened to you, your family and your truck.

Thankfully you are recovering and putting the pieces back together. I have been in the collision industry for almost 20 years and it still amazes me how people feel that being in an accident (the victim) is like getting a winning lottery ticket. It isn't by a long shot. As you are finding out, most people get screwed out of what they really need to get through a time like this.

I hope you don't give up even though the DA has dropped the case. I'm sure the other driver has his own issues now to deal with, but still, some form of justice needs to be delt out. Please keep us informed of what's happening.

Never could understand drinking and then getting behind the wheel....????
