Got rear-ended this afternoon. Fortunately, there was an empty boat trailer between me and the idiot who hit me. I was stopped at a light and she hit me at about 35, talking on her cell phone. Witnesses say she didn't even hit her brakes. I'll post pics of the wreck once I figure out how to get them off my phone. The trailer broke into 3 mangled pieces, and one piece literally stapled our cars together. She broke her kneecap on the dashboard of her little Focus; me, I was in a big-ass work van.
I got off easy; mild whiplash, a headache, and a herniated disk in my neck between the 2nd and 3rd cervical vertebrae. My chiropractor thinks he can repair it non-operatively, but no boxing for 4-6 weeks.
It could've been WAY worse. The pieces of trailer could've punctured the back doors of the van and, quite literally, killed me. Sheer ****** luck that they went through the undercarriage and trashed the differential, instead.
My guardian angel ROCKS.
