It is just a Bad Dream......NOT!!!

Last night after I got home from work Ben and I decided that we were hungry and went to Fosters for some ice cream and then over to Taco Bell for some tacos. We were then heading west on Jensen Ave home when we came to the intersection of Greenwood and Jensen there is a signal light there with no directional arrows since we were heading straight and the light was green we were on our merry little way until the black SUV that was heading east on Jensen and turning North on to Greenwood decided not to wait for us to get through the intersection and hit us. We were going 30-35 and she was going 5-15 mph. She hit us on the Drivers side of the engine. No one was really hurt, we are both a little stiff this morning and getting alittle sorer as the day goes. When she hit us we slid into another SUV and barely tapped her bumper. She immediately got out of the car and called 911 and everyone (police, fire fighters, and ambulance)was there in 2 min. The lady we bumped into was really nice and I am so glad that she and her passengers were there so that they could tell the police officer what happened. She even helped us try to clean up the banana split, caramel sundae, smoothie mess that was splattered everywhere, which is probably stinking inside the car right now as I type.


The girl that was driving the car was 20 and she was in there with her younger sister, not even 1 min after the accident the dad was there yelling that it was our fault, saying that we ran a red light. Which he would later find was not true and that his daughter was soley at fault (the police officer even admitted that it was her fault). Just so that everyone knows, if you do not have a directional arrow for you to turn with you are supposed to wait behind the line until it is clear, then you can pull out and turn (I did not know that). So, even if it was true that we had run the red light, we both would have been at fault because she ran the red light too, by being out in the intersection before it was clear for her to turn. The dad was trying really hard to make it seem that we were at fault, by asking if our lights were on, which they are always on because we have the daytime running lights.



So, we called the insurance aganecy this morning and gave them the police report number, we didn't collet any information about the other drivers ourselves because the police officer was doing that but it wouldn't have helped too much as this is a weekend and we can't really get anything started until Monday. We went to the rental place and got a car, and we went over to the subaru dealership to see what they had. There is a possibility that it is totalled but we will have to wait to see what the assessment comes out as. And now for the piece-de-resistance.... the pictures, I have to scrap book this, you know.

This was at the tow yard this morning. It was closed so we weren't able to get closer. We don't know the engine damages since we hadn't opened the hood, but it won't start, or switch gears. So, hope every one else had a better weekend. Type at you all later.
