You can see the big dodge ram that she couldn't see through

When I was in high school someone T-boned the school bus I was riding in. Said she didn't see it. It was bright yellow and a block long.

Sorry to hear about this Colin, I hope it all works out. Most important is that you two are both OK.

I guess you have to wait to hear from the insurance to see if they are going to write it off or not? I think it is fix-able.

Aw man. I'm sorry to see that.

Just count your blessings you two survived. It's just a car in the end.

I am in with the insurance people right now.
While the other people are admitting fault I do feel that it may still take awhile.

Was the dodge stopped and letting her into traffic? Or is that line of cars parked?

Good luck and feel well!

Well I have some luck in this. The other driver appears to have done the stand up thing and admitted full fault. Which is unusual up here.

This is the first time that the local insurance people haven't tried to swindle us.
Let's hope their attitude remains good.
