I added another to illustrate how stupid this all is. Can anyone see a real reason we’ve had a car strike near where it says “House hit” in 1972 (dad had his car parks on the lawn and it got hit), a rollover just a 100’ north of my yard, two “offs” exactly across the street, and two more slides across the driveway and one major house strike BEFORE last night.
Man, you can't catch a break! I second (or third, etc.) some sort of fortification for your property. Giant boulders, some of those things the Germans set up on the beaches of Normandy, etc.
IIRC, you are a couple towns over from me; I'm in Middleboro, MA. Around here, people go WAY too fast. My road is a cut through for another main route, and I see people regularly going 60mph+ down the road! I think I'm going way too fast at half that speed! I almost get demolished leaving my driveway at least once a week. Add to that the fact that people are more concerned with lighting up their cigarettes, vape pens, etc. while simultaneously texting, and you have a dangerous situation.
ebonyandivory said:And to add to how Twilight Zone this all is, during all the confusion and commotion with cops everywhere and the ramp trucks vying for space, a woman (who I noticed was not one of the several neighbors that came over) was seen waking around and asking questions about her fiancé.
The stranger part? I heard the cop tell her to “go ahead, take the whole pizza.”. She came to get the berkeleying PIZZA out of the car. And only then did she ask what bail might cost.
She didn’t look like Mama June either. Doesn’t marijuana make you hungry?
That's some funny E36 M3.
In reply to ebonyandivory :
Maybe call your township. There obviously a pattern of problems.
Down the street from me is a curve on a hill. We all laughed at the guy that bought the property and built his house there because at least twice a year a car went over.
Their first winter on the street, someone wound up in their garage, so they called the township and became an obnoxious pain in the ass. 4 months later, a guardrail was installed from the edge of their driveway to the other side of their house.

My teacher lost his wife and child on Rt. 44 to a gravel truck in your town. Near Thompson St. That’s when you had to cross a 55 mph road with no traffic light.
I wasn't at fault either but I'm more risky?

Since i too am under 40, my life expectancy is still going up every year!
This whole thing sucks, sorry man.

That's terrible, and all too common all these years later. I think that's the 44/105 intersection, right? If so, even with the lights, it's still a hotbed for accidents. People fly through there and right through red lights every single day. I drive through it every day twice, and always try to make sure some idiot isn't blowing the light before going.

Yup, I said 104. I was close but no cigar!
I'd suggest making sure your carrier is aware too. I'd be concerned that the other driver doesn't have enough coverage...there's a totaled rental car, totaled Denali and 2 cases of personal property damage. May not be enough coin to go around, so call your carrier.

I am not sure of this but I would assume he is filing through his insurance and let them deal with that kind of stuff.

I spent over an hour at East Bridgewater Insurance Agency (highly recommended!) and two agents did almost everything for me. I got my RMV1 to carry in my truck earlier yesterday but they couldn’t get it officially registered yesterday so EBIA called my carrier to get it on the policy officially and got my registration waiting for me there now. So my carrier was informed of this fiasco through my agent. You should’ve heard her try to explain it. “No, not THAT 2005 Denali and gray Honda Accord, the OTHER 2005 Denali and gray Honda Accord!
This is a lesson to those who think they’ll be safe just attaching plates to a used car and diving home and insuring and registering it at a later date. Imagine if I had done that? After all it was bought just 4 miles away from my house.
ebonyandivory said:Have any of you connected the dots? The ones that lead you to remember that my HOUSE was hit by a car and did $53,000 worth of damage and came a few feet away from killing my dad?
Sounds like you need to build an earthen wall to protect you from the traffic. Maybe plant some railroad ties out there
I bet the house hit was because someone came to the little curve to the north of the house and choose the wrong side of the trees between the neighbor to the North's house and the road. As to the most recent hit, who knows. I'd be for two big rocks on the south side of your driveway and two more for the north side of the north neighbor's driveway. That would physically block another hit from happening, in combination with the trees between the houses and the road.
In addition or instead I would also get ahold of the township/city/county and get a couple of curve reflectors installed at least at those locations, but maybe every so many feet on both sides of the road through both of those curves. It wouldn't need to be the 6'tall giant arrows, just the little white reflectors they usually have on curves and narrow bridges. That would channel drunk traffic to stay on the road. You could also ask about rumble stripping the shoulder on both sides through there to further encourage slowing down if someone leaves the asphalt.
What's the legal liability of giant boulders?
If you're putting them there for the express purpose of protection of property and someone hits them and dies are you responsible? Or do you have to pull the "landscaping" card?
You may now qualify for surpassing my front yard that has a tree called affectionately “the car eating tree”
it killed a Ford Escape and some sort of neon, drunk teen in neon then opened Carli’s buick leaving cigs inside and took off after i ran outside and ran through a field and stole a neighbor’s truck that had the keys in it. Cigs in buick were enough to get him on attempted GTA while popping him for actual GTA, drunk driving, leaving scene of accident all because the deputy said “he didn’t want his mom to find out”. Tree ate one vehicle from each direction. Dead straight road too.
Good luck, stop buying 2005 denalis.
ebonyandivory said:So... ANOTHER gray Honda Accord (from Hennessy Honda in Tennessee most likely)f
Is there ANOTHER terrible Hennesey Honda beside the one in Georgia?!
Good luck having it all work out. Hopefully this time you get a new Denali out of all this somehow. 
Also looking at the overheard pictures, its great that it hit the vehicles instead of plowing in to your house though.

You know last year an suv crashed through our house right? Yes, you’re right, our cars saved the house and possibly the lives of my parents
I don't know your yard, but I would be tempted to "level" it with a wall of pavers along the inside edge of that road and then a lot of dirt to make it totally flat from the house to that wall. Not as deadly to a driver as a tree or rocks, but still enough earth to stop any car from coming to visit
In reply to ebonyandivory :
Dayum, dude...ever thought about moving?
seriously, you need to get some big arse landscaping boulders or cement filled post fence ASAP with the rate your stuffs going.
Here’s the car that hit me.
Somewhere in the past, a white Denali did nasty to gray Accord.
Now all gray Accords are taking revenge on white Denali's.
Henceforth, do not get another white Denali or a gray Accord will be stalking.
