Why do you assume that everyone knows what T Bones means. This is tragic.
builderguy,
Google is everyone’s friend. Its quick response says “side collision”.
T-boned means “side collision”.
What is “T-boned” Does this mean the SUV was hit from the side?
Yes.
Let me try again. What is “T-boned”? Does this mean that the dump truck hit the side of the SUV?
Did you ever eat a big fat juicy T-bone steak? Its better than poi, better than pig, and better than poke.
