Ouch. I'm really glad to hear you're ok. Man, this is the 2nd person I know who has had this happen to them in the last 3 months. A friend at work was on her way home. She was sitting at the light waiting for it to turn green when a 68 year old man rear-ended her. He told the police he never saw her (she has ... had ... a 2001 Honda Accord sedan - the kind with the HUGE tail lights). She was ok, a few bruises, but nothing broken. She's still sore at times though. The police estimate the guy hit her doing 50. He actually pushed her car 1/4 of a mile (which means that when he hit her, he didn't hit the brake ... he probably stepped on the gas). Her car looked like a beer can. If Honda ever wanted an advertisment for the safety of their cars, they should have taken a photo of her and then of her car. Amazing what technology can do. -=>Donald
