Grrrrr... I was in an accident today, probably about $3,500 or so worth of damage. It was a VERY bad accident. I was stopped at the traffic light at the intersection of Rte. 234 & Sudley Manor Dr. A lady in an SUV ran a red light on 234 and t-boned another SUV, she in turn was t-boned by an car. Both her SUV and the SUV she hit went airborn, flipped and rolled. She ended up landing roof down on the front left of another SUV next to me and the SUV she hit flipped and landed on my driver's side front end. I'm alright and the car is repairable as only the rear of the car hit my front and it drove my car backwards so I actually ended up with the most minimal damage and no injuries. No hospital trip at all. Which is more than I can say for 3 of the 5 of us in the accident. I am a very lucky man! Out of all of the vehicles involved, mine is the only one that is not totalled! It was nightmarish!

Was a cell phone involved in this? I once saw some guy run a red light. It had been red long enough that the opposing left-turn traffic was turning. One of the cars almost t-boned him, but he was oblivious. When it changed to green about 10 seconds later, I decided to catch up to the guy (I was stopped in the right lane, he blew through the light in the left lane) and noticed that, sure enough, he was yakkin' on the cell phone.
