A Horrible Day for Me and Little Red Car


I had an car accident.    As if the hole in the windshield in June wasn't enough.  I picked up a prescription at our Oakland Osco and used the drive thru.  Making the 180 degree turn to head out and turn left to get to Mercer, crash!  I stopped at the stop sign and meandered out because no car was coming but I was wrong.  A car sped by but I was committed and I hit the speeding car.  I was hardly moving but the other car was going so fast .....awful.  Little Red Car suffered a hole in her right fender and the turning light is damaged.   The lady driving the other car called 911 right away and was mean, truly a weird person.  She called her husband and when he arrived he was quite nice and said,  "accidents happen". Her bumper will need to be replaced.   LRC is at Kurts body shop and will be as good as new by this Thursday with the cost estimated at $3000.00 


Write Up of Accident To be Sent to Springfield, IL

Unit 1, my car, a convertible with the top down, stopped at stop sign to check to make left turn.  Committed to turn when Unit 2 came at high speed, so loud it sounded like a revved up engine.  Unit 1 at very low pace collided with bumper of Unit 2.  Unit  2 driver called 911 immediately and was discourteous and rude to me.  Unit 2 driver did not want to exchange names of insurance companies.  Officer Hitchens arrived.

Already the Lady sent a Claim to State Farm

The lady would not give me her name.  Today I learned she already is going after me -- that's okay.  Our wonderful State Farm insurance has us covered.  But because the rear of her car was damaged, I am held liable.  That's a rule.
