I was confused since the adjuster said that his people will go and look at my car to write off. Don't really know how it all works. I have left a message for him saying that I don't want to add any more charges on a car that I won't be able to use. If he doesn't give me a call back by tomorrow afternoon, I will go grab the car and sell it off to any junk yard. Or I will see if the lot will just let me grab the plate and forfeit the car.

Sucks to have more fees but if you paid them now, got it moved, could save you in the long run.
With airbags deployed, yours is a goner. could you not just report the plate stolen?
Sorry this happened to you and glad that you and your friend are ok!

I wasn't aware that you could tow the car by yourself to any place you want. I have canadian tire road side assistance and I could have brought it back home but I didn't know about that
I could report the plate stolen but that might complicate the whole thing since its already under a case number now. I am not sure though. This whole thing is new to me; it was the first time I had conversation with a police officer so I just nodded to everything he said.

As to your car as Proteus said grab your plates and give up the car to the towing company they will make all the impound fees back selling it for scrap.

I didn't think that I would be getting in such a situation in such a short time. Sorry to hear about your incident too. Seems like trucks are the perfect vehicle for NA. I am moving away from the concept of buying a car next; possibly an SUV with better safety features and stuffs.
I will wait until tomorrow afternoon and then will go to the lot to settle it.
