Totaled my car the other day

Got t-boned by a van going about 55mph. I don’t want to say much more about the accident for insurance reasons. I had 2 friends in the car we were all wearing seat belts and we were able to walk away. I was driving and only got a gash above my left eye which required 5 stitches.



The messed up part is the cop who showed up to the scene was a moron. He didn’t interview anyone in my car only the people in the van and one witness who said I swerved around a car to pull out, which is completely wrong. The cop also issued me a ticket for no insurance even though it was in my glove box, I was never asked for it either probably because I was taken away in an ambulance right after the crash. then to top it off he marked me down as a female on the accident report.


Im just glad to be alive, a foot or two further back I would be in much worse shape.

Congrats on surviving.
If what you say is true, the cop really is a complete moron.
Too bad, I hope it works out for you.

Pwned!!!! That sucks big time, but its amazing that everyone in your car was ok. Good luck with the insurance company and that aparent idiot of a cop. Let us know when everything is finally settled.
