So yesterday I left work on MCRD Parris Island towards a theater for graduation practice for my BS I completed last year. I get no more than 300 feet away doing 25MPH and BAM! Some lady ran a stop sign and hit me!!!!!! As most of you may know, I just got my car back two weeks ago today from being fixed the last time someone hit me (or made me hit him actually).
The lady was approaching a stop sign. After she stopped, she saw me coming, but she said she thought it was a four way stop and that I was gonna stop. So she proceeded to make her turn and of course I hadn't stopped. Apparently my car isn't bright enough so she just smacked right into it! I didn't see her until she was in the lower left corner of my windshield but by then it was too late! So here's the result. The airbags deployed and the driver's door is stuck, so I had to crawl out through the passenger side (in a suit). Good thing is she has USAA as I do, and her adjuster already accepted responsibility, so USAA reserved a rental car for me already and my car is being towed to the body shop who fixed it last time.
So now I'm wondering if they'll be totaling the car. I've heard the airbags deploying is an indicator that they'll total it, and also, with where it was hit, there may be some structural damage. I should find out by the end of the week.
Here's a pic.....look with caution!
