BANG!

Not,

SCRREEEECHHHH, BANG.

Just BANG!

And then an "Oh G-d!".

I had just been hit from behind on the freeway exit ramp.

Then Bang.

Hit again!

I had jumped on the brakes to avoid hitting the car in front of me and the car behind rolled into me.

A young lady from out of town on the way to the hospital had wanted to change lanes.

She misjudged the traffic, which had come to a stop in front of her.

She accepted blame.
Called the police department, and we exchanged information as we waited for the police.

Fortunately we were able to get out of traffic.

And again fortunate we were not going that fast.

(later that week I saw an accident similar to mine where both cars had been totaled)

My neck and lower back have been talking to me.
I've refered them to my chriopractor.

My car made it into the shop today.

$$$$ fell off of its value in the blink of an eye Tuesday morning
because someone was in a hurry,
and someone else cut someone off somewhere in the traffic up ahead...

double ouch...
