So I was returning from lunch and running some errands for Pcar goodies when I was turning into the driveway at work and then BAM!!!
My truck was now off to the side and I was wondering what in the heck just happended. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw the car that was following me (young girl jabbering away on her cell phone) was now into my truck's rear end
Fortunately, I work next door to a Fire Station and there just happened to be a police officer there on site.
I will need to have my rear axle checked out for internal damages, but it looks at least fair from the hit. About 20 mph directly into my wheel. Notice the gap around the center cap, especially comparing the front half of the cap to the rear half, she hit my wheel between the 12 and 4 o'clock position.
As for me, I think that I am OK, but I do feel tension in my back, especially down low. If it is still tight tomorrow, I will have it looked at.
Whew! Had that been my P-car, I would NOT have been to happy!
