Last Friday morning I rear-ended what was probably a stopped vehicle on an interstate highway. It was dark, I crested a hill and didn't see the vehicle until it was too late to stop or swerve around him.
After the accident the vehicle I hit left the scene and I never found out who he was. My vehicle was most likely totalled, but I was completely uninjured. My airbags didn't even deploy.
I was disoriented for a few minutes, but called 9-1-1, my wife and my insurance company in that order on my cell phone. I'm glad to be okay, and I've been putting things together and I think I was pretty much aware of what was going on prior to the accident and was basically in the right.
The driver I hit was likely intoxicated, or engaged in illegal activity, or uninsured, or an illegal alien or all of the above.
Have you had an experience like this? Share your experiences with any accidents you might have had. I hope we can all learn from them.
