Drivers that don't pay attention = big bucks

On Monday afternoon a guy ran a red light in a Chev no less, got T boned by a Mazda. Chev swung around and hit the Hyundai beside me, kept going and hit my left rear door and the front of the box. No major injuries, all the other three vehicles are totalled except for my trusty F150. Stopped to book a date to get it in, have to wait 3 weeks to get it in! Estimated damage is $4000. After the accident the whole street corner is plugged with people and damaged vehicles with their flashers on, police cars with there flashing lights on and body parts strewn all over the road. Traffic wanting to get thru is madder than all of us people that just had major damage to our vehicles. One cougar in her new BMW actually pulled up behind my truck with myself and others standing behind it and was going to honk her horn but refrained after the look I gave her. Everyone involved in the accident were not happy but not as mad as the ignorant people wanting to drive thru! Reminds me of work.......I can work with dumb but you can't fix stupid!!

I bet the guy (or gals) who was at fault is going to need some KY once his insurance gets done with him (or her).

Saw the aftermath of a small prang yesterday. Two guys pulling out of fast food places on opposite sides of the street on to a 4-lane road with a center turning lane. Both must have been looking to their right to access the traffic as they crossed the first two lanes and they met left front corners dead nuts in the middle of the turning lane.

To the OP, I'm sorry for derailing your thread.

Did you get pictures of the damage yet?
