My car lost in freak accident

Yesterday, September 30th started out pretty good. I drove into town to take my dog to the groomer, had coffee with my sister, applied for a job as a substitute teacher, then, because I still had time to kill before I could pick up my dog, went to Marshalls to do a little Christmas Shopping. I was in the store about 20 minutes. By this time it was about 12:30 and I decided to go get some lunch. I walked out of the store and saw an ambulance, several police cars, two fire engines and a local tv news truck. HMMMMM! What could have happened here? All these vehicles were blocking the view of my parking spot. When I could finally see my car I could not believe my eyes!

Here are photos of the scene.




The red car is mine. The Ford F150 demolished the side of my car and pushed it into the Land Rover, which took care of the other side. Notice the wheel of the truck is on the hood of the Toyota SUV.

The Land Rover and SUV were able to drive away. My car had to be placed on a flat bed because the suspension system was destroyed. I just heard from the body shop. My car will be totaled, sigh......

Now begins the insurance mess! I am sitting around waiting on phone calls from my insurance company who is contacting the Ford F150 owner to demand they pay for an auto rental for me until they can get me another car.

I loved my car! It only had 60,000 miles, no dings and got over 30 miles per gallon!

WHY ME?

Quel mess! You must have been the recipient of that old Arab curse, "May you lead an interesting life".

Try to stay out from under trucks. What did Joy think of the Jeep?
