Wham! Bam! WTF?
I’m home. Again. I walked home a little while ago from the scene of our car accident.
Oh yes – somebody crashed into us on our way to work.
We were driving along, minding our own business. It was like one of those damn Volvo commercials* – except with a Toyota Matrix. And I never saw it coming.
It’s a simple story – a lady ran the red light and smashed into the driver’s side rear panel/tire region. Everyone is okay but the car is suffering from more than hurt feelings.
Luckily, the whole event transpired in front of our local fire station, so we had lots of firefighter witnesses and they called the cops pretty quickly. The less fun part – the lady was able to drive her old beater Toyota away while ours got hauled onto the flatbed to be towed away.
*My colleague pointed out it is actually a VW ad.

Bummer about your car--just glad you're okay (and your sister's recovering from her accident, too). I hope the other driver got duly ticketed and fined big time.
The last time we were in an accident, we were sitting at a complete halt at the intersection of 2 and 2A in Concord waiting for a safe merge. We were rear-ended by a teenager in her dad's Volvo. Our Subaru hatch took a major hit (about $1500 to fix, fortunately covered by the girl's dad's insurance), but the Volvo was totaled. So which car is tougher--my little Subie or the big ol' Volvo?
Oh, Lyss, you got crashed! I am so sorry...from someone who has been in more than her fair share of car accidents, I can deeply empathize...I hope all is well now and I'm sorry to hear about your sister...I don't imagine she is ever going to want to drive again.
