Sportage

On 10/16/08 at approx. 7:20A I was T-boned in the drivers side door and back passenger door by a Ford F250 red pickup truck as I was traveling up the street doing about 35-40 mph. He was pulling out of his subdivision onto the street and his passenger side window was fogged up so he did not see me coming.
