Charlie and I head out last night for a dinner date at Red Lobster. I had got rid of the kids for the night and wanted some us time before our two week vacation. We were having a great time talking and smiling and was really looking forward to a good meal. All of the sudden...
Wham! We got hit from behind which then made us hit the vehicle in front of us (we had stopped for the car in front of us to make a left turn). The guy behind us just wasn't paying attention. Immediately, he checked on everyone to see if all were ok. We all were thank goodness! He said he was sorry and made the call to the police. Our air bags DID NOT deploy. Further investigation and we found out that they were under a recall but were not fixed before it was sold to us. It could have been much worse and those air bags could have been needed! Makes me so much madder at Five Star Dodge for not handling that for us.
A total of four cars were involved. Ours was the worse. The guy who had hit us was in a new truck and was able to drive away with a busted headlight. The car in front of us had damage to part of their bumper and was also able to drive away. Originally, I didn't know there was another truck involved in front of that vehicle but they too were able to drive away. Ours on the other hand did not fare well.
We received front end damage:
And rear end damage:
We are very thankful that the kids were not with us. They could have been hurt badly. And we are very thankful that everyone walked away unharmed besides some aches and pains. We have talked to our insurance company and his insurance company on what to expect. We have already gotten the ball rolling with that and the inspection. We are waiting on the police report to come and also word if our car is repairable or totaled. Either way it will all be taken care of. Hopefully we will have it settled in a few days and we can have it all fixed while we are away on vacation. Crossing our fingers!
