Wham

I've been involved in another accident. I'm not really sure what happened....there were 3 cars involved, but from what the other 2 say, it was started by another car.....apparently he slowed down real fast & made a left turn without signalling or anything. Car #1 - swerved to the right and went past the turning guy. Car #2 - swerved to the right, couldn't slow down fast enough & bumped Car #1. Car #3(that's me) - swerved to the right, couldn't slow down fast enough & hit Car #2. I stopped immediately after hitting Car #2. Cars #1 & #2 kept driving and pulled off the road about 50-100 ft in front of me. I had pulled off onto a gravel shoulder on the right. I 1st called Rik and gave him the bare details & told him to come get me. I then called 911, and they took a basic report & sent out the CHP. The driver of Car #2 came back to me & we swapped information. She said her car wasn't damaged that badly. She had already swapped info with the driver of Car #1. A moment later, the driver of Car #1 came up and he & I swapped information. By that time, the CHP got to the scene. No one claimed to be injured, and no one wanted to file an offical report, so the CHP said we should all just deal with our respective insurances and file a 'counter report' if needed. The CHP told me I could leave, so I did. Damage.....my front end is a mess. The hood is crumpled, the left headlight is busted, I can't open my passengar door....I'm sure there's more, but it's too dark for me to see what. The car seems to be drivable (I drove about 7 miles from the accident to home), so I'm driving to work in Concord tomorrow & my mechanic who is in Fairfield is going to pick up my car in Concord. That's about the long & the short of it for right now. Since we're down to 1 vehicle.....I may not be making the next munch or 2. I will be at V's next party though. Hubby has been kind enough to let me have the car Saturday night. More details as they come, if you want them.
