"I got in a terrible accident..."

That's how my morning started. I'm at work with coffee in hand ready to start my day when at 7:28 am I get the following text.

 

"I've been in a horrible accident. Not my fault. Car is fucked"

 

Call Yasmin to make sure she's ok, remembering in the back of my mind that she told me she was taking the Mercedes to work today. So I ask...you are in the E55 right??? No, it was nice I took the turbo. :-(

 

So she was going down 161 when someone decided to change lanes and didn't see her, caught her in the passenger door and then really hit square on the rear wheel / suspension breaking the toe link and control arm on contact.

So. Not so bad right? ...cept between the impact and the broken suspension the Car spun out of control and under a semi doing some pretty serious damage.

Good news is the airbags and safety equipment did their job. Bad news is the car is pretty bad. I know it's just metal but I'm pretty attached to my cars. Def a bummer. She's even more pissed than I am about the car...she loves this thing.

 

Is what it is I guess :-(

Her being ok was first priority. She's a little sore in the lower back but she was squatting 185 and deadlifting 155 the night before. So tough to say gym vs accident. We will monitor and go seek attention if necessary.

 

At fault party was insured. Car is at Achbach in good hands.
