Car Accident

July 17th, 2014 at 05:14 pm

I had a small car accident on Tuesday when I left work. I was stopped at a light and a delivery truck slammed into me pushing me forward to hit the car in front of me.

No one was hurt. Thank God! We exchanged info and all vehicles were drivable.

The car that I had hit had no damage. The only visible damage I see on my car is to the front and rear bumper. I think paint is all it needs. But, yesterday a guy flagged me down and said that both of my tail and brake lights are out. OK now the car isn't drivable even though I'm driving it. The top light above the trunk is working when I press on the brake and my turning signals work.

I talked to my mom and she said that she forgot to mention to me on Sunday that she noticed my lights don't work. So - this happened before the accident. Weird because I just got my inspection done and now the engine light comes on sometimes.

I've made an appointment for tomorrow after work to get the estimate on repairs from the accident. I might mention the lights and engine light too see what they say. I can be responsible for payment on those.

Then on Saturday I am dropping my car off at the dealership because of a recall.

Let me just say how I am so glad I don't have a car payment anymore!

My car is a 2007 and has over $127K miles on it.

    Glad you weren't hurt, but also very glad you're getting it all checked out.

    Yes, get those lights fixed! That could have contributed to the cause of the accident.

    CCF I didn't even put 2 and 2 together! You are absolutely right. I will have to let both insurance companies know. Thank you!

    You are welcome! I'm not saying your lack of lights were full cause, because the other driver should have been able to tell you were stopped if coming upon you even without lights, unless it was dark.
