Today while traveling on a two lane road, i was in the right lane and hard a car to the left of me traveling in the passing lane. rather than a shoulder, there was a approx 3 foot wide median of curb height on my right.

i guess she didnt see me, but she turned right into me. i jammed ont eh brakes but wasnt stopping quick enough so i had to swerve up on the median. i impacted the curb at about 40 mph, although somehow my tires did not pop. after about 20 feet with both my rightside tires on the median and the left tires on the road, the car came to a stop.

there appeared to be no damage to the car. how this is possible i do not know. when i drive car, the alignment seems to be ok as the car tracks straight. while braking, the car does not seem to pull to either side.

is there any other tests i can run to see if anything was damaged. if so im gonna go after the person as i got their license plate number.

thanks
 






if the truck still drives fine, then most likely nothing was damaged.
Although I would still call in a police report, that way if something happens to start acting weird, you can say you did put the report in.
 






I would take it in. Or if your your own mech. Then i would just jack it up and give it a full check. Ball joints, tie rods, all moving parts. And what ever you find bad had to have happened in your incident right. ;). Edit good point gavin. Its always good to have the report in especially if something occurs later and you never reported.
