We got a call early yesterday morning. Our rental property had been hit by a truck. It is a double wide trailer on an acre of land. It sits over 100 feet from the road on a straight quiet country road. Apparently the driver choaked on coffee and passed out with his foot on the gas. He traveled 300 feet and hit the corner of the trailer doing over 45 mph. It knocked the home over a foot off it's foundation. The inside looks like an earthquake hit. The driver walked away with a bump on his head and sore ribs. He had hunting dogs in the back in a cage and one dog tied in the back(he was not injured). One of the tenants was in the bathroom on the other end of the home and was knocked down by the impact. Now the home has been declared unsafe by the building inspector. Our tenants must remove all there belonging(that aren't damaged) and find somewhere else to live. It looks like the trailer will be a total loss. Now we have to deal with the insurance companies.

OH NO! Poor you, and poor tenants! I'm so glad NO ONE was injured, what a blessing!
WOW!
Boy, this gives whole new meaning to "don't drink and drive" ...
hope it all works out with the insurance companies....they can be so NOT fun to deal with...
Oh, that's awful, Nancy for you and your tenants...especially at this time of year. Glad no one was hurt. Shouldn't the driver's insurance cover the costs? Unless he has no insurance.
