Scott's fine; my nerves are now, but weren't earlier.

He was in a car accident, earlier. He was going to pick a friend up, to go to their game; he was turning into the friend's driveway, a left turn, or rather waiting for an opening to do so, when he was rear-ended.

He said it bent the bumper down, but I suspect it did somewhat more than that, since he said the trailer-hitch was lower and that's anchored to the body...though it does pass under the bumper. It still drives, anyway, and he's all right. (No, he didn't drive it to the game - he parked it at his friend's place, and they took his car instead.)

I am so very, very grateful it was no worse than that, and all the same my nerves are just a bit on the touchy side for that news. Except for that, today was a lovely thing, full of books and rain and Gardens, and wild hail-storms when I'd come home for the afternoon.

I'm glad he is okay! It was considered the other person's fault, right?

For hitting the rear corner of his car, while Scott sat in a left turn lane at a dead stop with his left turn signal going? You bet.

Oh my god! I'm so glad he's alright, but what a scare that must have been!! *HUGS*

Man... well, hopefully the costs won't be too bad.

*HUGS*

Her insurance should pick it up: she rear-ended him, and she was out of her lane and admitted fault.

If there actually was damage to the plate where the hitch attaches, instead of just the hitch, it will probably total the car. It's ancient; doesn't take a whole lot to total something of that age.
