Well, it finally happened. After driving to and from work for the last six years and putting on about 30,000 miles a year, I was rear-ended last night on the way home as I transitioned from the 57 to the 5 as traffic came to a slow stop.
A Ford 150 hit the Camry behind me which was propelled into my back bumper. I think I had just started up a little so the rap didn't seem to do too much damage although the Camry's rear bumper and trunk lid were crunched. The rear fender area is popped out a little and I'm hearing a few more rattles, but, hopefully, nothing serious.
It took nearly an hour to trade info and get the CHP out to write up an accident report which made me late for my monthly poker game. Of course, that probably saved me money because I had an hour less to play or lose. Now, I have to get an estimate and get it in for any needed repairs. Bummer!
This is the first accident I've been involved in since the 1970s, I think. I hope this doesn't increase my insurance rate!
