I knew it the minute my wife started speaking. "Rachel and I are OK (car crash came to the forefront of my mind) but we've been in an accident. "Where are you" and I was off and running. They were fine when I got there, just shaken up. The police had left them right after they asked "Is your car OK?" My wife said yes since she had been able to pull over to the side of the road. When she got in to start it the car was dead. Well, it was still dead when I got there; I had arranged for a tow while driving over (hey, having Onstar and being the business helps). The tow truck showed up in minutes and we deposited my wife and daughter at home and the car at the body shop. Rough guess, oh, about $2500. Now we just have to wait for the police report to see which insurance company pays to repair the vehicle. The other driver stated to the police it was her fault but somehow it doesn't always seem to come out that way. Bottom line, everyone is safe, its only a car, move on, next.
I will let you know as the repair proceeds; i need to get back to my own broken cars in the shop right now.
