Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
Today I received a letter from the insurance company of the driver who's hitch struck our car. They are denying the claim. The driver of the pickup truck changed his story from "I thought that I had put the locking pin in the night before" to "I know I did have the locking pin in place." He went further to claim that the hitch was lying clearly visible in the middle of the highway and Teresa would have been able to avoid it easily if she had been paying attention to the road. Prior to the police showing up he had said that the last he'd seen of the hitch was when he saw it 'tumbling' behind him in the rear view mirror.
Teresa had just crossed a railroad intersection when the accident occurred and knows that she had just looked both ways for any trains. She didn't see the hitch before it struck.
Between the damage to the car and the medical bills we are stuck for about $5000.
On a further note, the county Sheriff that had stopped at the accident site had a massive heart attack a few days ago and has since passed away. So, we are unable to talk with him to find out anything said other than what might be in the police report.
