Some drunk missed a stop light and broadsided her. She seems to be ok for now. Seems all she did was hit her knee on something. She was able to drive the van home but man is there some damage.
The police hauled the guy off to jail but we're still not sure if he had insurance or not. They were still investigating it when they turned her loose...
I'm off to get her into bed.
Man...2 times to the same family in a year and a half. I'm just glad she seems ok.
Sidenote, she was wearing her seatbelt.....Don't know if that helped or not but I'm glad she had it on. Also her air bag didn't deploy, I guess side collisions won't set them off. Dunno..
That would be freaky, I'm glad she is ok. Hopefully she won't find anymor sore areas or pain when the shock wears off. Also glad it didn't turn out to be a hit and run, too many of those.
I remember getting totally smacked by a drunk in a cadalliac...hit and run too...
That car was tough as nails...it hit us, knocking us off the road, yet the cadalliac kept going like nothing was in its way.

from what i understand unless car is supplied with a side air bag and a lot newer cars are doing that a side impact wont trigger the air bag in the front.
Sorry to hear that downhill. Be sure to keep a close eye on her...some injuries do not surface immediately. Banging a knee sounds like a simple thing...but could in fact result in a chipped bone..plus numerous other "owies"...seems she is in wonderful hands at the moment......Take care!!
She's up. Her knee feels ok but she has a sore neck. Understandable. I'm still waiting to figure out if he has insurance or not....I've been on the phone but so far, I'm waiting to get more info from the Sheriff's Dept.
I was going to post a link to that thread, but the SG search results for "bullsh|t" were too numerous

Now stop browsing SG and follow Bouncer's advice!
Oh I have been.....
Again, thanks for the well wishes.
After my accident a year and a half ago, then this one...and after reading about the accident that Evan's wife went through..I'd like to take the time to remind everyone to "wear their seatbelts!"
If he doesn't have insurance, let me know. The way life has been lately, I wouldn't mind coming up there and taking out all my frustrations on some dumb ass who deserves it.
Glad your wife is ok, but we don't need the extra aggravation that these idiots cause in our lives.

and no,unless it's a car that has side airbags,side impact won't set the front bags off.
Glad the wife's ok DH but a checkup is worth it, along with the -B- recommendations.
Did the van have side impact airbags? The one in the steering wheel is usually triggered from impact to the front bumper. That may be why it didn't deploy.
I hope the news is good with insurance.

Glad she is alright. Driving can be dangerous when you least expect it. Its not just you out there. The other drivers do stupid thing to cause you an accident. Comfort her. She needs it now.
Lets see how deep the rabbitt hole goes. I want both the red and the blue pill just to be different.
Hope she doesn't wake up with some serious pain in the next day or two.
