Crash! Bang! Smash!

And this is what happens when you have crash! bang! smash! Today I was involved in an auto accident while minding my own business sitting at a red light. A Saturn turned in front of oncoming traffic (the white truck) and was plowed into. The truck, in turn, bounced off the Saturn and came straight for me. There was no time to react, and even still, no room for me to do anything as there were cars behind me and to my left.

I am pretty sure the Saturn and that truck will be totaled but I was able to drive away in my car. The damage is cosmetic, with injuries to the hood, bumper and headlight. Nothing internal seems to be damaged. I am doing fine, and it seems everyone else involved is too. There were three passengers in the Saturn and they were all uninjured. We were all just shaken up a bit, I know I was.

My car goes in tomorrow for an appraisal of the damage... fortunately the insurance company is willing to go on the fast track to get my car fixed. I am leaving town Wednesday for a week... perfect time for repairs to be made to my car. Whew... still a little shaken but ok.
