RIP a 2003-2007 GX470, saw one totaled on I-20 Jan 21st

Driving on I-20 just outside Dallas Texas on Saturday Jan 21st I saw this one on a wrecker. Looks like a pretty bad accident. Makes me wonder if it was a sudden blow out or someone ran them off the road. The latter happens all the time here because people drive like degenerate animals.

Wow I hate to see that, I hope gx frame is stronger than most vehicles on that it protects us from the later. Safety is my number one concern when traveling and I do a lot of travel myself for business. Thank you for posting

Heartbreaking . Judging by the skid marks going to the right just before the wrecker, it looks like they may have swerved to get around a vehicle and then flipped it. The cabin looks to be in decent shape, and it looks like the RSCA activated and hopefully helped the passengers have nothing more than minor injuries.

Part of enthusiast vehicle ownership is the fear that your pride and joy will get wrecked (either by your fault or by another driver), and all of the time/money/effort will go down the drain in seconds. For a 470 in particular, a lower-mileage, nicer-shape one would be very difficult to replace. I feel like mine is not really replaceable (at least in the unique color that I love, and with the hundreds of hours of free time I've put into it). Hopefully it does not meet that fate.

My thoughts exactly. If someone totals my 460 I just might have to be bailed outta the clink. I will NOT take it well. LOL

That sucks I drive 10 and 20 through Texas twice a month and the drivers are idiots especially the truckers and they don’t care if they almost kill you. Nobody pays attention either I have put my flashers on multiple times after swerving around mule deer and watched the car behind me hit it.

Truckers are no joke. One ran me and my family off the road because the MF felt entitled and did the ole: turn indicator only AFTER moving in to my lane just to avoid the on-ramp traffic trick. Didn't even look. The MF almost killed me and my wife and daughter. He's lucky I wasn't able to catch up to him...
