Thank God my son wasn't hurt. I'm certain that there were two big angels in the back seat with him (my dad and my uncle). It messed up the front of my car though. I have a brand new Mazda CX-7. Got it back at the end of February. The insurance company didn't total it, but it's going to cost half of what the car is worth to fix it though. The whole front end has to be rebuilt and they have to take the wheels and suspension off to assess the frame damage AND the most expensive parts to replace....the air bags!!!!!
There isn't a doubt in my mind had we been in the smaller car that my husband now drives, we would have been really hurt. This car did an excellent job protecting us from a pretty serious collision. Can always replace cars....but not precious little cargo. The medics were great in checking him over. The cops and other emergency workers were so sweet in carrying him and talking to him. I was a nervous wreck and could barely talk because I was shaking so bad. I couldn't get a hold of Hicham because he was at the gym and had his phone in the locker. Fortunately, my aunt was working a few miles down the street and was able to come right away and get us. When Hicham finally got home he ran in the house and picked up our son and had to check him over his self. I could tell the whole thing really freaked him out to.
I will tell you this guy that pulled out in front of us didn't speak English. They had to have a translator at the scene. They never said anything to me or came to try and talk to me either. I don't even know how many people were in the van with him, but no one in their car was hurt that I am aware of. They were able to drive away...and that was the last they've been heard of.
It's been the biggest hassle of phone calls, emails, faxes and meeting adjustors and getting copies of reports and doctor's reports. I'm ready to hunt these people down and kick their aZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

I need to be more careful of where I do my ballet leaps and spins.. U know, I can understand the first one, that was clearly my fault. I shouldn't have worn that fake mustache and business suit.
but the time I was picking up the pineapples and was bent over...that one was a little uncalled for.

I am AFRAID to even ask.........
