Commuting Nightmare





On Wednesday while commuting home on the 405 freeway on may way home from work, the traffic stopped in Long Beach, as usual. This time however, I heard a load crash and a split second later, I felt my head hit the sun viror or winshield and felt my car being pushed into the car in front of me.


The driver of a Ford F150 pick up truck had not been paying attention to the traffic and plowed into a Mercades Benz right in back of me which hit me. He must have been traveling at least 30 MPH and I did not hear any skidding.


We pulled over and took down all the pertinent information and the driver of the truck acknowledged his error and fortunately has insurance. I have had an appraisal done and should have my car into the body shop this week. No one was hurt except I had the skin taken off my forehead right below my hairline. Could be a lot worse.

Sooooo glad you're ok(except for the forehead), but looks like the little red Scion will need some TLC! Give it a hug before you send it off to the body shop! :)

Can't wait to see you both soon!! :)

You poor thing, my little red Scion! I hope you feel better soon! Oh yeah, and I hope you feel better soon too dad! Glad you are ok. I think Southern California is bad luck for Donnie cars.....(won't mention what happened to your other baby).
