get t-boned

get t-boned

Of a vehicle, to be struck in the side by another vehicle. Please call 911! This car got t-boned when a minivan ran a red light. A: "Grandmom got t-boned? Is she OK?" B: "I don't know yet—the police are bringing her to the ER to get checked out." That was terrifying! If not for your deft maneuvering, we would have been t-boned in that intersection!
