...has been rear ended by a young man doing ~60 mph according to the hiwy patrol.
State College, PA
My daughter was stopped & waiting for a School Bus who was picking up children yesterday(11-5-21) early in the morning while on her way to work.
When she got slammed into by a young fella not looking where he was going. The impact drove my daughter's Civic another ~50 yards from where she was STOPPED and into the oncoming lane in which she was able to steer her car somewhat back into her lane. She has video but, I don't at this time.
Both she and the driver of the car that hit her are OK but time will tell. I am assuming that her Civic is going to be TOTALED as the trunk and rear quarters plus the back windshield are unrecognizable. The kid that hit my daughter's car claimed that he was changing radio stations(last gen GrandPrix w/steering wheel mounted radio controls). IDK if the Police checked him for sobriety or his cell phone for usage. I just don't know at this time.
This Civic was a 2015 and in perfect condition(60K miles) as I am the only one who has worked on it since she took ownership in July 5th 2018. IDK if she'll get a lawyer or how the boy's insurance company will handle it. She got a rental car to get to work and to drive to Harrisburg (Navy Reserves) later that evening. She will be checked out by the Navy Medical and I hope she can get some Navy legal advise this weekend.
