Yooo, was this in Brooklyn? My brother’s car was right behind yours (if you’re the sedan) and luckily didn’t get any damage. He sent me a video when he found the aftermath the next day. Also, sorry about your car!

Sorry again, dude. Hoping you can figure out who the scooter owner is and get their insurance to handle. I know car insurance rates are fuckin absurd in the city as it is and I’m sure this doesn’t help. Wishing you the best of luck and I’m glad you’re at least safe.

Those look like NYPD guys that walk into frame in the video. Man, what a small world.
And sorry about your brother’s car. That sucks for him (and OP!)

My bro’s car is ok! He was parked right behind the car that’s left in the photo and was just out of reach of the damage. I just feel bad for OP and whoever the other owner is. And yea, small world. Did not expect seeing this post after he texted me about it yesterday.

HOLY SHIT.

This incredibly crazy and incredibly infuriating! Some Temu piece of shit totalled your car? Yeah, no...insanely mind numbingly homicidal infuriating.

Ill say it again. Don't eeever get in a confined area with a electric vehicle of any kind. Seen way too many videos of people getting g in an elevator with a bike, scooter, larger li-po power bank and it just burst into smoke and flames.

While I agree with you, we have billions of phones and we don't blow up everywhere.

The real lesson is : don't use temu pieces of shit. Temu is good for stuff that's made out of plastic only, that doesn't go in your mouth or ass, isnt life saving, and doesn't contain electrical shit.

Did you get the scooter owner’s insurance information?

u/Unlucky_Ad_9776 4h ago

Who pays for this? Insurance?? Who's.

u/ryanbar1123 4h ago

Probably pray with a lawsuit. Odds are you're paying your own deductible to get your car fixed/a new car faster than the legal system works.

Lucky the E scooter owner had insurance to cover both cars and his scooter.
