My friends' 17 year old daughter wrecked her mom's car on Sunday. She was on the way to Baton Rouge for an orientation at the college there. Her fault - she ran in to the back of another car. Thankfully, everyone was ok. The other persons trailer hitch COVER was messed up adn that was it. Mom didn't fare so well; her car was caved in, radiator busted and well, it just looks awfully nasty.
Today Todd and Steve went to haul it home on a trailer to save her a little bit of money. They get to and from the salvage yard where it was (about 50 miles each way) with the car tucked safely on the trailer.
They were less than 3 miles from the shop they were taking it to and a pickup truck ran a stop sign, hit the trailer hard enough to rock the car back and forth, cause it to hit the L-beams on the trailer and leaving hefty scratches and dents in both sides of the car. Not only is the front of the car messed up now, both sides of her car are and Todd's trailer has a nasty looking fender and the tire and wheel are shot.
The crummy thing is, she will be dealing with 2 insurance companies now - one her daughter's fault and the other the other driver's fault. I am glad it is her - not me. I am more glad everyone is fine.
What a nutty day.
