It was night time rush hour, we were coming up on the 5/14 split, 4 left lanes go on the 5 north, 3 right lanes go on the 14 north. We were all the way to the left in the fast lane.

Traffic slowed and came to a stop as we were approaching a hill, he must have had at least a 1/8 mile length cushion between me and him which in L.A. rush hour traffic usually means that person is texting and not paying attention.

He said he takes the 14 freeway home and had turned around to change lanes and when he turned back it was too late to stop. I don't know why he was 4 lanes to the left from his exit so late in the game, I'm positive he was texting.

He hit me so hard my tow hitch took the brunt of the force and now the frame is definitely bent. We'll see how this shakes out.
