I have attempted to explain that all that matters is we are ok. The truck can be fixed.
Any tips on navigating this until the tempers and feelings mellow out?
I have already submitted the claim to the insurance company. But he is ready to just trade the truck in and get another one. Obviously that would be ridiculous.

Oh, so you're still involved with him?
Trading it in wouldn't be the worst financial decision he's made, right?
How did she wreck it? Because the fact that she's ok is good, but it isn't ALL that matters.

She is learning how to drive. We were passing a friends farm and she was looking towards and honking at the friend, causing her to veer off and hit a sign.
I probably shouldn’t have let her drive but she needs the practice.
I lent my car to a friend, so I have been driving his truck this weekend while he was at work. I am farm sitting this week and daughter was helping me feed animals.
Most single moms aren’t living in 5 bedroom houses in expensive areas... she has been to Mexico, Cuba and Italy in the last 6 months. Most single moms are struggling or living with their parents in our area. She is learning to drive in a two month old $59k truck...
I would say I am an amazing person to learn how to prosper as a single mom.
I agree with the posters who say your DS and the guy should sort it out. She needs to learn how to clean up her own messes.

Yeah, she obviously needs the practice. But you shouldn't have let her drive his vehicle.
Is he "angry" because of the accident & damage to his truck or because he did not give permission for a 16 year to drive his truck or what?

If the truck only has minor damage I can see why it would seem silly to replace it, but if he can afford a new truck what does it matter to you how he spends his money?
