Another year and Another car accident

You read that right! Just a few days ago was the one year anniversary of my Tahoe accident in downtown Salt Lake City. So it was 4:30 this afternoon and Micah were on our way to our Utah Youth Village training . . .

We stopped to get a treat for the car ride and then were on our way to the freeway. We stopped at the red light and were the fourth or fifth car from the light. The light changed to green and the blue van in front of us took its time moving; just as the van drove off there was a loud THUNK to the back of the truck.

The best way I can describe the feeling of movement is when you have one of those dreams where you are falling and you suddenly awake! I looked over at Micah and asked what just happened; I seriously thought I was waking up! Before he could answer he was pulling over to the nearby parking lot.

To make a long story short - it was Micah's Sliverado verses a Ford F150. Micah dealt with Sir Stupid - who openly admitted to Micah and I that he was not paying attention. As you can see the damage to Micah's truck was not to serious looking, however, when Micah and pulled away to go back home to exchange trucks I pointed that his gas gage was reading EMPTY and the warning was showing LOW - - - VERY ODD since he had filled up the day prior and was at 3/4 a tank when we left home at 4pm.

So we have the truck at the repair place and they estimated $1850.00 in damages . . . and hopefully we find that there is not more damage then they found already. So for now, Micah is driving a 2009 Chevy Impala.
