Default Got in a wreck on I95 at St. Augustine FL

Well....it happened...my bad luck never ends with this car. I was heading home from Jacksonville FL to Orlando on I95 when these guys pulled out of the emergency lane after puting on a spare tire..and i hit them. I was doing 70 they were doing 45 so they claim. My car doesnt look bad at all. It would be drivable if the airbags hadnt deployed. I didnt even touch them. My bumper is scratched...side fender...hood wasnt touched...and engine bay is fine...one head light is pushed in. Adjuster should be coming out soon to see it. SHould have been today..but he never called...oh well . Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Desmond:

Sorry, that sucks, but thankful you'll both recover!
I signed papers today on my 3rd silverstone/black, should have by 8/11.
As my kids say, "it's just a thing"!
I wish you only smooth sailing from here on, it's your turn!

I was in a accident last week in my daily commuter(not the stook).

I hit a school bus my airbags deployed and I got a nasty burn on my arm from it. It also burned the hair of of my lower arm(btw the smell of burning hair is horrible).

Did you get burned from the airbags?

But hey good news is the car was totalled and I pick up my new Protege5 at the end of the week

Desmond, if it weren't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all.

Sorry about the accident.

I hope the repair goes well. I'm glad you are okay.

Barry
