I thought about updating the other entry. But it's more fun to have 2 blog entries in one day. The good news is that my mom is not seriously hurt (she'll probably be sore tomorrow). The additional good news is that the damage to the Integra was much less than I was picturing. (I pictured a crumpled little white car :-( Instead, it has scratches on the back bumper, the back license plate is bent under a little bit (not enough that you can't read the numbers). The front suffered a bit more damaged. There is a trailer hitch embedded a little bit underneath the left headlight (if you are sitting in the car). You can't see any of the round hitch, just the metal sleeve that holds it to the truck. Amazingly, it didn't hit the radiator, so the car is drivable. There is a little bit of damage to the casing over the light, so that will have to be replaced. But all in all, not too bad. I'll take it to the body shop later this week (apparently my deductible on that car is $250) and we'll see how expensive it will be to fix the whole thing or maybe just the front bumper and light. And we'll see if my insurance rates rise...
