My wife was driving home from work Monday night and got rear ended, BAD! She stopped on I-70 for a backup (at one of the usual spots) and the person behind her didn't see her stopped and hit her, at what the other driver said was probably the posted speed (65mph !) Good news is that Shannon (wife) has no serious injuries, nor does anyone else involved. Bad news is that Shannon is really sore, bruised, and upset. Link to pics of car:

It's also sad because we both really loved that car and had planned to keep it for a long time. So far their insurance company (USAA) has talked the talk, we'll see if they walk the walk. Hopefully it doesn't turn into a long drawn out exercise in stupidity.

Seems to be the season for rear end collisions, eerily similar to AndyJ's situation.

Wow, definitely glad to hear she's OK. (I was rear ended on 495 once. Don't miss 495/70 during rush hour at all ).

I recall a guy locally who rolled a car on MA 495. His wife went to look at the car. Her reaction kind of took him by surprise. She told him to get another just like it. She reasoned that the car did its job protecting the occupant. Looks like the same sort of endorsement for your wifes car.
