Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield...

Got rear-ended today on my way to my night job. Low-speed impact, some damage but nothing really severe. No broken glass, tail lights all work. NO INJURIES!! No airbags deployed.

Commerical pickup truck hit me. That business's insurance is taking care of everything. Guy driving the truck was real apologetic. Wasn't even really his fault; the car in front of me did a real quick stop to make a turn, no turn signal, no brakes until the last 20 feet or so. I nearly hit them, but stopped in time. As I was accelerating away, the truck behind me couldn't stop in time. This all happened within a couple seconds.

Glad everyone is ok...

Sux but no one was injured, and the car's fixable.

Ouch, good thing you were rolling away.

Lots of folks I've talked to weren't so lucky...

Hate to hear to bad part but it is good to hear you are OK.

Thanks everyone. Yes, the best part is that no one was injured. Everything else is either fixable or replaceable.

Ok, we had it inspected today. Almost $3k in damages that they can see. It will take at least 9 days to fix it. Luckily I get a rental vehicle while it's in the shop.
