Yesterday evening one of my daughters, with her boyfriend in the passenger seat, was hit head on by a drunk driver. Other than bumps and bruises mostly from the seat belts and air bags they are both ok. Her Cube took a pretty good hit and is undoubtedly a total loss. It was her first car so she's heartbroken for that.
It was a relatively low speed hit ( both parties traveling less than 30mph). She saw it coming and had time to get on the brakes but couldn't get out of path of the oncoming truck. We're extremely grateful to the Palmdale Sheriffs Office who was on the scene mere moments after the impact and quickly had the bad guy in custody and then preceded to calm her down and made sure she was well taken care of. It could have been so much worse so I'm feeling lucky. My heart goes out to other parents who were not as fortunate.
