Marilyn's Car Accident

Paling in comparison to Chad Calhoun's early passing, Marilyn had a car accident on Thursday. She was stopped at a flashing red light (it is a regular signal, but was not working correctly due to the thunderstorms mentioned a few posts back) when she was rear-ended by another driver. He hit her so hard his air bags deployed and his car ws destroyed. Marilyn's car was damaged in the back and we are waiting to see if it is repairable or not. At first glance her car doesn't look too damaged, but when you look closer I thing the frame is bent, a unibody panel needs to be replaced, the trunk won't close any longer and the driver's seat was broken and unusable. It was drivable, but because of the driver's seat being broken we had it towed to the body shop. We should get a preliminary idea of all that is wrong today. On the good side, Volvo's are by far the world's safest car. We have had 2 accidents in our Volvos and they protect whoever is in the car so well it is incredible.
