NHTSA Complaint #10392721 — 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE

I GOT ON HWY 26 AT THE WHITE ROCK BALLENTINE EXIT. I WAS TRAVELING ON 26 WHEN I SAW A MAURICE BARBEQUE TRUCK COME ONTO THE HIGHWAY SO I MOVED OVER ONE LANE. AS THE TRUCK WAS COMING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AT AN EXTREMELY FAST SPEED, AT THE LAKE MURRAY ENTRANCE I SAW SOMETHING FLY OUT OF HIS TRUCK. IT HAD TO HAVE FLOWN OUT HIS WINDOW AND IT HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND MADE A CRACK IN IT. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO HONK MY HORN TO GET HIM TO PULL OVER. HE GAVE ME THE FINGER. SO I SLOWED DOWN WENT BEHIND HIM TOOK HIS PLATE NUMBER DOWN AND CALLED MAURICE'S BBQ NUMBER RIGHT AWAY. I UNFORTUNATELY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO FOLLOW HIM BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TAKING MY KIDS TO AN EMERGENCY DOCTORS APPOINTMENT. I FELT I TOOK ALL THE RIGHT STEPS TO MAKE SURE I REPORTED THIS PROPERLY. I CONTINUED TO CALL MAURICES 3 TIMES A DAY AND LEFT MESSAGES AND NO ONE RESPONDED FINALLY 3 DAYS LATER A WOMAN CALLED ME AND TOLD ME SHE SENT IT TO THE INSURANCE BUT THEY WEREN'T GONNA PAY FOR IT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY CALLED ME AND SAID THE DRIVER SAID HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG AND BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW HIM WE WONT PAY FOR IT. THIS IS SO UNFAIR TO ME AS I DIDN'T EVEN GET A CHANCE TO STATE MY CASE... I AM APPALLED AND DISGUSTED BY HOW MAURICES BBQ HANDLED THE SITUATION ... PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO. *TR
