Taking my 4 yr old daughter to preschool this morning had my wife and 1 yr old son with us. Well the roads where very icy so we turned around to go home, we live up a long steep hill so as we are creeping by a side st the truck starts to slide sideways down the side st that is also a steep hill I was able to get the truck straight facing up hill but then started sliding backwards down the hill and hit a utility pole at the bottom thank god nobody was hurt not even the pole except my truck it pushed my Reese hitch down and in bending my bumper and tailgate and bendingy frame on both sides. I can fix it but to damn broke right now with my father passing last month and the holidays. I ask my friends and family for help and they just blow me off. Mind you on an almost monthly basis some of them are always asking for money or for help fixing their car or house. So now I'm pretty pissed off. This is my work truck I use to haul wood or do side work my wife uses to go to work. We do have another truck to use thank goodness until I can fix this one but its going to suck when we have doctors to go to when my daughter is school or try to work. I only have liability on it.

Hang in there man. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

Sorry this happened to you brother. It is stressful, but thankfully you and your family are safe!
