We left home in plenty of time......

So, we usually leave the house at about 6:15pm to get to church on time on Wednesday nights. This Wednesday night, we left at 5:45pm because we needed to stop in Holbrook to pick something up for Rocco before church. Big mistake. Here we are minding our own business, when a women decides to make a left turn out of a gas station. She needed to go through the long line of cars that were waiting for the light to change, being she couldn't see if there was any oncoming traffic coming, she relied on a car to look for her and when he said go, she went. But we were coming up along side of him in the left lane. Why he didn't see a big silver van is beyond me. Well, that's when we met Lucy. The worst part is, that guy that waved her on, left, he didn't even stay to offer any help. As you can see, we didn't get much damage, a broken light, some fender dents, a dented hubcap, and the alignment is all messed up, but all in all, not too bad. Her car is another story. It could have been so much worse being we both swerved into the oncoming traffic lanes. Thank God no body was coming at the time, it would've been a very multiple vehicle accident!! What makes matters worse for us though, is that she took her boyfriends car, and he doesn't have any insurance!! If he's not willing to pay for the damage, then our insurance company has to pay for the whole thing, and that won't be good. She couldn't get in touch with him, so we don't know what will happen yet. I'm just glad that no one was hurt, and even though it WAS her fault, she was really nice and did admit it.

Her car didn't do as well as ours.

Her bumper and license plate in the middle of the road.

UPDATE: Frank took the van for an estimate this morning, and would you believe...$3400.00!!
