I received the call every parent dreads (and I've heard three times....UGH!) Mom...I've been in an accident. Anthony was pulling out onto the main road from Ally's road and a navy blue sedan was driving down the street without his lights on, in the dark. Anthony literally didn't even know he was there until the point of impact. 3 street lights heading up the street in the direction the car was coming are all out so it is so dark there. Awful. Ally chipped her tooth and they are a little sore today. Not sure about the driver of the other car. He spoke Spanish and had no proof of insurance. Thankfully there was 2 witnesses. One, of which said she didn't see the car either, until they collided but couldn't tell for sure whether or not the driver had his lights on. And another who said she, in fact, did notice that his headlights were not on. So....now we have to wait and see. We had the car towed to a local transmission place recommended by AAA but they weren't open today, so the car just sits there for now. Insurance company will decide who is at fault after they get a copy of the police reports, etc...but, for now, we have the inconvenience of being down one car with a very busy teenager....with places to go and people to see....who will now be bumming rides. I am thankful no one was seriously hurt! It could have been disastrous! So now we play the insurance waiting game to determine if we will be able to get the car fixed...
