Scary stuff! Hopefully things go well with insurance and you aren't held liable. Unfortunately though that is almost certainly a totaled truck.

Glad you're OK!

The shear number of Lightning trucks I've seen crashed online and in social media owner groups has been staggering. I don't know what's going on, but it's a little concerning.

People are probably thinking “that huge truck will not be here anytime soon”, and then it is.

Sorry to hear about your truck. The 2026 lightning STX might be a good replacement. There is lots of good deals on 2025's out there right now as well if you're looking to buy new

Give us an update on if you can get those dashcam clips off. It's a shame to see another Azure grey off the road.

Me and a couple of the retiree's where I worked at the Water Pollution Control Plant are not welcome to visit ( It started with Covid Restrictions and has held on). But One of the lone time Operators is retiring at the end of the month, so he let a group of us in for a 2 hour tour.
Reason why I bring this up . . .dang, if they didn't have a F-150 Lightning as part of the fleet, an XLT like mine, Not sure of the vintage, but I was pleasantly surprised...

You are interested in Lightning, which is an enthusiast vehicle. Enthusiasts post everything about their vehicle on the internet. New wheels? Post it! Lift kit? Post it! Crash? Post it!

When someone crashes a Honda Odyssey it's not posted because nobody cares, including the owner of the Odyssey.

Disclaimer: Not a police chase!

Clipped by Chevy S10 striking behind passenger rear wheel, sent into spin, t-boned guard rail, bounced back into spin, bounced back around wrapping around end of guard rail into ditch.

Snowy interstate, 55 mph.

Drivable, unable to access frunk, passenger side 100% involved. Gas engine wouldn't have survived due to extreme damage to frunk.

Sluggish to start charging, decide to charge at public charging so if started fire, wouldn't torch the house.

Predicted to be totaled, hopefully.

Update: 28k damage from walk around appraisal, off to body shop for further autopsy once get on lift and frunk open.
