This week my car was rear-ended while driving home from work. True story. Here’s what happened and the aftermath — financial and otherwise.
Crash!
After work I was driving home on RT-128 in Gloucester, MA. There are two traffic circles. I got through the first one and was waiting in line at the second, when I heard the squeal of brakes and almost immediately felt the impact from behind.
My car was pushed forward and into the vehicle in front of me. The front impact triggered the airbags in my car to inflate. The nose of my car became lodged under the bumper of the front car, dragging my car off to the side of the road as the front vehicle pulled out of traffic.
When my car came to a stop, I opened the door and just sat there, adenaline rushing — not in a good way — trying to get my bearings.
