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:

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. |

Glad your wife is ok. Man, I am getting afraid to drive with all these FFRAXers getting rearended! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Seriously though, she will get more sore before she gets better. A trip to your general practitioner is wise as a precautionary measure. Do keep a very close eye on her for the next few days.
And folks ask us if racing is scary! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Brian,
I'm glad to hear that your wife is ok, that's a serious hit. Wow. QUOTE (CMC #37 @ Jan 10 2008, 10:55 PM)  Glad your wife is ok. Man, I am getting afraid to drive with all these FFRAXers getting rearended! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I missed one last night. I had my parents in the car with me and I suddenly dumped the clutch and cut the wheel. Dad said "what the heck was that?". I said "Neon avoidance". I was sitting stopped and realized this guy either wasn't looking or wasn't stopping in time. I moved the Mazdaspeed just in time to avoid getting crunched from behind and shoved into a truck. It was dark and raining at the time. Brian, I'll sell you a nice Mazdaspeed 6. It's AWD, 4 doors, you should have one. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
