Yesterday, around 3:30 pm, I was sitting in our apartment with the kids...somebody came banging on my door. I looked through the peephole and it was a man from upstairs. I opened up the door, and he immediately says 'somebody hit your car!' (which by the way was parked out in the parking lot). I replied, "my car? are you sure?". He said 'yes, your car! Come!'...I immediately ran outside to see what he was talking about, still not believing that my car had been hit. As soon as I turn the corner from the apartment to the parking lot, I see a crowd of people...most of them looking towards me and shaking their heads. These were the ones who knew it was my car that had been hit. I knew then that it had to be pretty bad...as the crowd started to part, I saw it: (my car is the green one...)
Yeah. It's nice, isn't it? I stood there kind of in schock for a moment. Then the police man came and talked to me and told me what I needed to do and everything....
Apparently the driver was drunk...he turned into the parking lot doing 50-60 mph. He uprooted a fire hydrant, a metal sign, continued down the curb, and finally stopped as he slammed into my car...pushing my car sideways in the parking spot and causing it to hit the car beside it.
Fantastic.
Anyways, because the damage on the car is more than the car's worth...it should be considered totalled. It is immobile due to the front axle being broken....just look at the photos of my tire!
It's horrible. So I am car-less....at least insurance seems to be cooperating though.
