Yesterday I was driving to my home after having lunch with my wife and mother in law when I was hit by a young driver in the back of my car while I was waiting for the traffic light turn to green. Needless to say that the impact that we felt was very hard. My wife and mother in law was complaining of back and neck pain and the ambulance to them to the hospital.
The firefighters came like in 4 or 5 minutes to help us and to move my car out of the street. After talking to the guy that hit us a saw that he was a very young guy maybe 20 or 21 years of age. He told us that he became distracted looking for his cellular phone and when he realized that we still waiting for the traffic he hit our car in the back at full speed. He apologize so many times to us and I feel bad for him, but at the same time he had to understand that when you are driving you have to be aware of your surroundings.
After the accident I had to wait almost an hour for the Florida Highway Patrol to come and investigate the crash. After taking our information the officer gave the young guy a ticket for careless driving and took 4 points from his driver licence. As for my 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage the back bumper was heavy damage and I was not able to turn my car on because of my battery when dead. Thank God my wife and mother in law were release from the hospital although with pain in their backs.
I called my insurance company to give them all the information about the crash and they told that tomorrow they will contact me to give me more details about the procedures that I has to follow. I hope I can fix my car as soon as possible because I need to assist to my classes at City College and go to work.
