"Girlfriend in a Coma, I know, I know, it's Serious!"

No, actually, Girlfriend not in a Coma.

 

However, on Tuesday Night, at approximately 6:45 PM, about 0.6 miles from home, she was driving her car (which cost her around $900 in December to fix) when she was rear-ended by a mini-van driven by a teenage girl. She was turning onto our street, crossing traffic, when she was struck. She had her brake lights on as well as her turn signal. She is lucky she didn't get shoved into oncoming traffic.

 

The girl jumped out of the mini-van and said "I'm so sorry. I didn't see you!" to which my girlfriend responded "You scared the hell out of me!"

 

As a result, I took the day off work yesterday to drive my girlfriend to the doctors, as well as to get various medical things. She's got whiplash, and has to go to physical therapy.

 

The highlight of the day was that the claims adjuster for the girl came by late afternoon and totally wrote off my girlfriend's car. The damage done, rear end and frame damage, would cost more to repair than the car is worth. This, after she spend $900 in December.

 

We finished the police report and gathered all the requisite paperwork for the car last night.

 

More fun times to come!
