RE: Hummer vs. Earth Roamer
Hey dmb7280,
Do you have the Onstar roadside assistance and if so, did the airbag deploy and did the 911 airbag deployment call 911 for you? Course I understand you may have been so wrapped up with everything happening so fast. Just curious how the Onstar responed if you have it.

RE: Hummer vs. Earth Roamer
much to my surprise,none of my airbags deployed (side curtains either). i guess they didnt need to considering the angle of the impact, but i have no clue.
as far as onstar is concerned, it came on immediately after the accident. the lady was very nice and called 911 for me. i kinda felt bad, though, as im sure i taught her some new vocabulary (davey wasnt happy). i was impressed by it so much, in fact, that i won't go w/ out it from here on out.

Sorry to hear about your 3.
If you need any help with wrenches I'm free this weekend and can give you a hand.... and if you want to keep part of her on the road but couldn't deal with seeing those parts on your new vehicle on a daily bassis, I could help there to...... like maybe that slightly scuffed rock rail could find a home with my girl.
.........
Get back Doc... I call dibs!

I'm too darn far away to help w/ the wrenches, but I can UPS some cold beer and Venison sausage to help sustain your nutrients while you're working on your salvage project!!! 
Anything to help in this time of grieving.

Hey dmb7280,
Sorry about the crash but at least you and everyone else is okay. As far as the crashreport goes, if its anything like Florida (a cop here for 22 years), the accident report will not have a lot of detail regarding the speed at the time of impact, etc. The report will list the posted speed limit and the approximate speed based on the damage and driver/witness statements. To figure exact speed you have to measure the skid marks, if any, and determine the drag factor of the payment all of which is usually reserved for crashes involving serious injury or a fatality. Assuming that Texas uses simlar language as FL, the driver was probably charged with a non-criminal infraction along the lines of "Follwing Too Close", "Failure To Use Due Care" or "Careless Driving." Again, FL terms and TX may used different language.
Hope you are back on the road with a new H3 soon.

Man I'm so glad you are okay. Your health is more important than any H3 (close second).
In that photo of the driver side window what's with the seat belt attachment hanging down? Did it break loose during impact?
