Very glad to hear your wife is OK.. Very disapponted to hear ....you dummy you didn't take your LEICA! I know I know there are times like this the camera is the last thing on your mind. You should have had it for evidence of wreckage so the other guys lawyer doesn't weazle out of paying restitution. Nothing like dropping in their face photos showing who was at fault and without this kind of evidence, the weazle type lawyer can get their client off and you don't get a nickle for repairs or replacement vehicle. But line....your wife is OK ! ted >One of the three uninsured guys in the other car which ran the stop sign >hit his >head and was less than OK; they took him to the hospital in an ambulance.
