Yea I am pretty sure the ticket thing is bogus but I also agree that you should go get checked out. My dad came pretty close to getting T-boned 2 years ago when a guy ran a red light and totaled his Grand AM. The battery ended up about 60-70 ft away. And since then he has had to get his nerve endings burnt off 3 times since his neck is permanantly messed up. #4 might be on the way soon. The procedures were only supposed to happen every 4 years for the rest of his life if it doesn't better.

Happy you walked away and wasn't carried away.
A car is always replaceable your life isnt. It's good to hear you're ok.
Glad your OK! How does someone get a failure to yield at an intersection when you stopped and the other person did not..?? Im guessing you you should have stayed stopped until the lady with no lights passed? Thats gay, but I guess it makes sense.
Was ot totally dark out or sunset?
He said it was a 2 way intersection and he had the stop sign.
Anyways, that is still BS that you got the ticket. It obviously wouldnt have happened if she had her head lights on. Like said above, good thing you are mostly ok. It definitely could have been worse.

Yea man..Fuck that.
Fight the ticket. I got in an accident by some dumb ass who THOUGHT he could make a left turn at the intersection when i'm already going thru the intersection. He didn't make no signals or anything, he just sped up fast as hell. I couldn't brake in time. I couldn't swurve out of the way enough. I had back pains, my legs were numb. My neck feels messed up. My eye ligaments felt torn up.
You know the worst thing about my accident was. Right after it happened. I sat in the car with my other 3 passengers. Asked if they were ok. Sat there for a bit stupified. Got out, was going to ask him if he was alright. And i saw him get out of his damn car smiling at me. That just pissed me off.
Did the police take a report? This is the one mistake i wish i made correct. Talking to the police, he TOLD them that it was his fault. That he tried to beat me when i'm in the intersection. And the police even said that to me. That he said it was his fault.
Yet, there is no record of the incident with the two officers. And now, its said that,
"I was trying to pass the car making the right turn and when i did that i hit him." Yet there was enough space for 2 cars. And that night, I was the only car.
But all in all, i hope your alright. The aftermath shock really sux. I have a paranoia of driving by intersections.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I'm definitly doing a lot better now. I think I might have some whiplash, and the side of my head hurts where I must have smacked the window. My backs a little sore too but I dunno, I might go get it checked out, but I am going on a cruise on Saturday and I don't know if I'll have time to make it out to get checked up, but I'll definitly give it a try.
I went back to where my truck is sitting right now and took a few pictures... The Mazda 6 is alot worse off then my truck, but both my dad and I think it's totalled.
Yeah, I had the stop sign, and I still don't understand how I didn't see the car. Yeah it was dark in that area, but I don't think thats a good enough excuse and I should have been paying better attention. You live and you learn I guess?

What is the truck worth? Front clip with radiator/ac/ core support isnt cheap after you add paint and labor.

Vehicles can be replaced.
Glad to hear everyone is ok, for the most part.
I was in an truck that got rearended by a drunk driver nearly ten years ago. I refused to go to therapy because I thought my back would eventually feel better. I was wrong. My back still hurts. If you're not feeling 100%, do yourself a favor and get checked out.
