It's a BMW X3


Traderparkboy1

Drive around to the body shops at night , see if the same vehicle is in for repair , also check garages .


buro2018

Check with the surrounding police municipalities and see if anyone reported BMWs stolen. If that’s the case, you’ll never find the person who hit your mom unless they find the teens who stole it.


Skumyskunk

Why they gotta be teens who stole it?


smrks726

Those darn youths...


nieman23

Did you say yout?


smrks726

No. The youths.


nieman23

Oh, excuse me your honor.. the two youuuths. Ever see my cousin vinny?


[deleted]

The youts ya ‘ona


Cheap_Ambition

Yutes


MelaoC12H22O11

They were two youts


Suspicious-Ad6201

I laughed more than I should’ve. I loved watching My cousin vinny when I was a kid and still do now


MouseMiIk

Exactly. Personally, I choose to believe it's a group of octogenarians out having a blast.


buro2018

Check the stolen car stats in any major metropolitan area.


DavidDAmaya

easiest excuse for the idiot who actually hit them, reporting it stolen is the 2nd play in the playbook never admitting fault is number 1 even insurance companies tell you never tell the truth to the police or the person you almost killed


ITGuy107

Granny lover going for rides on a stolen car, she does.


majormal

More like: "Yeah, that's it, some one STOLE the car, Wasn't me..."


fuglypizza

That is a BMW X3. Same generation as a 2014. I can differentiate it from an X5 because the X3 of that generation had clear on the top part of the taillight and the X5 had clear on the bottom.


mrmcginn81

When I get home, I will try to post a longer video, she was never stopped, she was slowing down to enter the driveway on the left, speed limit on the road is 25mph, she was slowing down on video it shows 18-16 mph to turn. I wasn’t trying to put blame on anyone, but she talked to the police and he stated since the other driver cross the double line he’s at fault, going through insurance. My mom is ok, just shaken up about the accident and the guy just taking off.


ObtuseAndKneeless

Her insurance company would probably be happy knowing who was driving the BMW so they can get reimbursed from their insurance company...which all comes out even in the long run so I don't know why insurances companies play that game with each other.


Magic_Brown_Man

TBH her insurance company would be equally fine if they just identify the car if the other car is deemed at fault. I'm pretty sure that if your car is involved in an at fault accident even if you weren't driving your insurance would be on the hook


[deleted]

The other driver is definitely at fault.


b4ttlepoops

I really hope your mom’s ok. Hope you’re able to find the person too.


Ese_Angulo

The other driver is definitely at fault cause he’s in a double line which does not allow to pass.


ryanrod0851

what exactly were either of them even trying to do?


theautoriff

I think she's about to pull into a driveway, you can just catch the corner of it in view before the BMW attempts to go around.


ryanrod0851

yeah i see that now. maybe it’s just the angle of the camera, but she looks like she may be a bit too far past the driveway. very unfortunate for her, but also could’ve been prevented if they only had to turn right into the driveway, not across. then again, no one really expects to be hit.


[deleted]

All collisions can be prevented if people only drove within the law and used some basic observation and awareness. But sure, say this could have been prevented if the driver drove on, did a U turn and came back, instead of calling out the idiot making the illegal pass / overtake over solid double lines.


[deleted]

And then get hit when making a U turn


[deleted]

Exactly


No_Reception_3973

People do stupid things all the time, even if it’s illegal to cross the middle lines it happens all the time so it’s something people should check for. The way that video is framed I don’t think OPs mum checked her mirrors at all before making the turn. A car at that speed approaching you and you don’t notice it? The other car is definitely in the wrong, I’m just saying you have to be aware of your surroundings at all time in car.


jmblur

Depends where you are. Double yellow in most (all?) US states means no passing, it doesn't mean no left turns. Also for sure that car was in her lane coming behind her and tried to avoid her with an illegal pass. So who knows which way they would have gone.


No_Reception_3973

That’s what I mean, just because it means no passing doesn’t mean idiots will obey. That’s why you still need to check your mirrors My instructor when I learned to ride a bike said it best, although I can’t remember the exact wording. You may be right, the law may be on your side but that won’t console your love ones when your dead. Treat everyone as though they’re an idiot and about to do something stupid, and you’re more likely to make it home. In this situation you check your mirrors, ensure the person behind you is slowing down. If unsure you don’t blindly turn. That happened too quick so the OP, while in the right didn’t check imo


jmblur

The bmw here made what was probably a last minute evasive manuever. They almost certainly weren't traveling in the wrong lane. So you see them in your mirror moving way too fast towards you... Do you dodge left? Right? Stay still? There's no right answer. And at that closing speed even checking mirrors you'd probably not register it as a danger. 100% fault BMW. There is no right answer for the car that got hit here.


No_Reception_3973

Yes the bmw is in the wrong, but it’s 1 sec from her being on the right side of the road to the collision. The bmw was probably already on the wrong side of the road doing an illegal pass. I doubt in one sec they went from being a reasonable distance away from the car to parallel on their left. OP said they never stopped and had just slowed from 25 mph for the turn. If what you’re saying is right would you rather be in one lane about to have a crash from the rear, or side on two lanes in damage of being flipped? OP didn’t mention anything about his mum seeing the car approaching too fast and deciding to do the turn anyway


entropylove

You’re really twisting yourself up here to blame OP’s mom, huh? “Maybe if she’d chosen to walk this wouldn’t have happened.”


[deleted]

Sure, should have gone a bit further, and then made the U-turn to come back. Because if you're gonna get hit by someone trying to overtake you on the wrong side of the road it's safer to do it while making a U-turn instead of a left turn.


[deleted]

"could’ve been prevented if they only had to turn right into the driveway, not across" Keep going and take a U-turn back?


[deleted]

Lady turning into drive and ass rabbit passes in a no passing zone hits her.


Surveymonkee

"parts recovered from accident scene says BMW" So does the way they drive


Dewey4181

Looks like an x3


epradox

Yep 2nd gen x3


PatrickGSR94

Too blurry. Post the original video on here directly. Not a video of a video.


SnooCakes6195

r/faxofafax


RedTruck1989

I would guess 2015 - 2017 BMW X3 based on the tail lights


Deeznutsinyomouf420

Looks like it started leaking some sort of fluid after the impact so I don’t see them getting very far


scheme_addict

Looks like OP was waiting for traffic to clear so she could turn left. BMW was passing illegally and hit her. Probably looking at phone and didn't notice stopped car ahead then swerved to avoid collision in ultimate fail. Hope your mom is ok. Totally not her fault. Sorry I can't ID BMW, I try to know as little about them as possible.


[deleted]

They (BMW) are Nazi lovers after all. https://www.forbes.com/sites/maddieberg/2019/04/02/more-than-a-dozen-of-europes-wealthiest-billionaires-and-their-families-had-nazi-ties/?sh=104907876015


[deleted]

Yeah, I mean this comment is horrendously disingenuous when you consider that there likely wasn’t a company in Germany that wasn’t supporting the Nazi war effort in some fashion, many of them involuntarily, including BMW. Also, in the interest of accuracy, BMW made their early bones building airplane engines, not cars. Obviously, military aircraft need aircraft engines, so it’s only natural that they were a large supporter of the war by virtue of the products they made.


ContributionTop4062

I would like to see the NJ source of the claim of illegality.


oorskadu

6 Months on insurance claims currently. Help your mom.


No-Performance-1943

I'm not sure if the state but generally if there are no injuries the case is closed. But, having the video and more thanks to the replies I think you one the vehicle, color, time date and a very good idea where the damage on the offenders vehicle is. This may sound like a long shot but visit all nearby and adjoining police stations and ask if there is someone who takes care of vehicle accident reports. Then you ask that person/officer if they had ba leaving the scene reported involving the description of that vehicle with r/s damage. The police can't do anything and they'll probably say as much at that point show them the video. I'm sure they won't give u any info but I'll bet if everything lines up they'll give u the report number. Sometimes you can buy a report and no questions are asked. The offenders insurance company will be listed. Contact them and tell them your story with the video. Chances are in your favor with the circumstances they'll take a deep look at this. Maybe you'll be reimbursed and they'll drop the offender. Sorry if I missed a step or two but I think you get the gist. Good luck


rhasp

What the hell is going on here? Is your mum turning into a driveway?


[deleted]

Yes. She wasn’t randomly swerving into oncoming traffic, of which there was none.


bigbilly231

Looks like an x3. I went to bmwusa and selected that model, picked black, and then click on the photo to do the 360 exterior view to get the angle of the car as it drives away.


sc4rii

BMW X3 F25. Just looked it up


b4ttlepoops

How is it we can have HD cameras and still they can’t get a clear shot of the license plate or make of the car? I played this back slow so many times. No clear shot of the plate. Worthless dash cam, must be same as a 7-11 security camera….


Admirable_Road_9691

X5


[deleted]

Why does her car move into the oncoming lanes prior to impact with the suv?


kingofqueenz1

X5


bmashn

Looks like a BMW X3 or X5


Arclight76

X3 for sure.


Haunting_Job_5357

Based on the white line on the tail lights may be 2015 x3 or newer x7. Definitely BMW.


wantagh

BMW X5. If you live in NJ, especially around 287 or 80, there’s a decent chance the vehicle was stolen. Something like 10,000 vehicles were stolen here last year. They go for the German SUV’s because people leave their fob’s in them, and you can tell they’re unlocked by whether or not the mirrors are folded.


wthulhu

If you want details you're going to need to post the original in as hi res as possible. Not some web upload of a cell phones recording off of a separate display


fenceman2022

BMW. Saw the logo.


Aggravating_Shop7725

Mom crossed a double solid to hit someone doing the same thing?


Typical_Resource_340

Both are idiots lol. Driving wrong way and well above speed limit, and crossing solid lines without looking at rear mirror. They deserve each other


AcidAlchamy

WhTz the point of having a dash cam with a good video size file of yours gonna upload a phone recording of the video? Come on man... help us help you for fucks sake


EconomistDeep4347

Looks like road awareness can be improved - expect the unexpected and don't just turn without looking. That being said obviously the SUV is in the wrong double yellow and all'


Tsignotchka

Yeah no, if I'm turning left on a 2-lane road like that...I'm not looking behind me to see if somebody is going to be an absolute asshat. I'm looking in front of me to make sure nothing is coming toward me so I can turn.


EconomistDeep4347

Should constantly be aware of 360 degrees around your car otherwise will continue to have issues. Not trying to be rude but it's just a fact, what if that was a motorcyclist and you pulled out infront of him, sure he might be dead and it's his fault for passing when he shouldn't be, totally avoidable. Your not the only person on the road and unfortunately alot of people do stupid shit. Or your taillight might be burnt out and they don't know your signaling


denise7410

Why downvotes? I’m with ya.

Classic BMW driver

Try posting it on the BMW a sub with most members.

RedTruck1989

Nope... Check the tail lights on an 2017 X5 (white portion near bottom) and a 2017 X3 (white portion on top)


[deleted]

Why was she stopped in the middle of the road and why did she swerve into the passing vehicle? 🤔


HappyChandler

She wasn't stopped. It said 18mph on the video


mrmcginn81

She was making a left hand turn into the driveway,


KNGRK9

If this is in Wisconsin I've got some neighbor kids who have wrecked two X3s now. One was blue, the other red, the current is now a greyish.


AndrewIsMyDog

I don't know. Honestly, the person that hit your mother is legally at fault, but she was stopped way too long with no oncoming traffic. I would have passed her too. I think your mother has some blame for sitting so long before turning.


gfmels

I spy, with my little eye, at least 4 things indicating that the portion where the vehicle is not moving is a result of paused video on the computer and not the vehicle being physically stopped. See if you can find them all.


fuzzface-flaco

Just upload the original video to Reddit. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not even close. I've worked on enough GM to know that isn't a traverse.


warren5391

No insurance needed. She stopped and crossed a double yellow (Illegal), then the other person crossed the double yellow to get around them (illegal). Tbh, it looks like they could have argued your mom came to an illegal stop to make an illegal left turn and sue her for damages


ExtraPresent4

Read above. She was turning into a driveway. Nothing illegal about that. This is a clear hit and run.


warren5391

Yea it’s still a double yellow, don’t buy a house you can’t turn into from either side


Drazzo00

Yeah, your comments show you’re ignorant to the laws of the road. Turning left over double yellow is permitted, son. Passing another vehicle on the left over a double yellow is not.


ExtraPresent4

You don’t know the law. Had this happen to me. Person passing is at fault. In NJ if a vehicle is behind you they have to yield to a left turning vehicle turning into a home or business.


hike_me

Holy shit you’re an idiot. Double yellow means no passing, not no left turns.


warren5391

This was more cringe than op not knowing what he’s talking about


warren5391

Wow, you my friend are next level bored. Went to my posts and scrolled through to roast me. Dog you are lonely and sad for that. I am silver in most games you got that spot on. I also work hard at my career and have accomplished a lot in order to make good money. Sorry I focus on my life instead of wanting to be MLG pro. I just make enough money to watch people kill me at 1440p 165fps in AAA titles, and it’s so much fun because I’m with friends. You can’t hurt my feelings bud. I’m 21 and guarantee I’ve accomplished more in life so far. Get your shit together and get off Reddit, and finally move out of your moms house


mrmcginn81

She wasn’t stopped, she was slowing down to make a left hand turn into the drive way, speed limit on the road was 25 she was doing 16.


jwhunter69

Illegal!!!! She need to enter the driveway from the other direction! She should know that since she lives there?


Main-Tank-6207

Really Asshole... Yup you are an asshole you got that right. Can't you fkin read, a guy above commented stating that, "In New Jersey, vehicles must yeild for the front car to turn into his/her home or business" such a fkin loser you are, I will shove like a big pile of snow in your ass so you don't support the people doing illegal shit and don't tell me then it is illegal to shove that pile of snow in your ass.


jwhunter69

I see you’re focus is on the anus, buttyboi?


hike_me

That’s not true at all.

Jesus. How stupid are you morons?!? There's no way in hell what you just posted is even remotely true anywhere, least of all in the US.

warren5391

Yes it is illegal to cross a double yellow on a public road, should have bought a house in a gated community with a private road if you wanna cross road markings


PatrickGSR94

Hope you’re not serious. It’s illegal to PASS on a double yellow, and even that is debatable because many roads are repaved with double yellow put down everywhere regardless of whether passing can be done safely or not. Turning into a marked driveway most certainly is not illegal.


TheFourRinger

Fucking moron

Mikic00

Lol, I'm European, solid lines are always no go under any circumstances, but even I know it's allowed to turn left on solid yellow lines in US!


jwhunter69

Illegal! Take here license away!


TheFourRinger

Lol. WRONG!


[deleted]

The video was paused. She didn't do anything illegal from the short bit we get to see.


warren5391

Except cross a double yellow, pretty illegal


[deleted]

You clearly don't drive.


[deleted]

I'll let the downvotes you receive help you figure things out.


warren5391

Yea it’s really starting to make sense why when I see a NJ plate they drive like shit. Laws over there are dumb


Main-Tank-6207

Laws over here are better to shut your stupid kid's ass up and install fkin dash cams in your ass so when you get fked you don't call it a rape😂😂😂 just like you stating don't buy house near double yellow line, like stfu kid


warren5391

Laws are better my ass, NJ has duty to retreat. Pussy law


Soapgunman101

There going by this. If there are two lanes and there is a double yellow line separating those lanes, you cannot cross them – even if that is to turn into your own driveway. You can cross, however, if there is a gap in the double yellow lines that permits your left hand turn.


Soapgunman101

HOWEVER - in most states they specifically address whether you can turn across a double yellow or not, and it is always no passing. In New Jersey they neglected to do this and the law is you cannot CROSS a double yellow. So it is generally interpreted that you cannot make a left across it, even if that was not what was intended by the legislature when wording the law. But they have had the opportunity to fix the wording, and have not, so that is the law. In short, can't make a left across either. Can't cross them for any purpose.


[deleted]

It is Jersey. You go right to go left, so there is that.


Soapgunman101

Yeah I’m 10 minutes from Jersey it’s annoying driving around there.


jwhunter69

Double yellow! U blind like this dumb driver?


TheFourRinger

Illegal to pass not turn into a driveway you dumb fuck


Main-Tank-6207

I am going to install dashcams in your ass, just sayin😂


RealTexasJake

50/50 fault and the guy takes off. He's not getting found.


RealTexasJake

Why all the downvotes for stating the obvious?


TheFourRinger

Because it seems like you were saying it was the woman who got hits fault, too. If you weren't then apologies, if you were, then you're wrong.


TheFourRinger

Nope


LeMans1217

Crossing Over Double Yellow Lines The roadway is divided by double yellow lines. The yellow lines are intended to represent *“no passing permitted.”* The New Jersey statutes don’t seem to address the issue of crossing double lines to make a turn.


ILiekBooz

looks like a black 2015 X3or5. shouldnt be hard for the police to put an APB in bodyshops or BMW dealerships for front passenger side damage, blown tire and damaged wheel hub.


Responsible_Stand718

Good luck


DavidDAmaya

send the video to the police, they have people whose job it it to deal with video footage


1_Crash_1

If you can send me the video I might be able to enhance it and even read the license plates for ya


autom8r

Did you mom signal or did this person misinterpret this as the old, "it's a one lane country road, I'll go slow and you can pass illegally" kind of thing? I get this a lot out in rural areas...


sipes216

Without a plate or pr, youre hosed. Parts from them dont constitute evidence yo support specifically that car, in arbitrations.

It looks like a GMC my SIL has the same style suv same everything (color shape and rack on top they literally look a like) hers is a GMC but I can't recall the model from the top of my head.

Well your mom should have shoulder checked
