As I was turning off GA400 at exit 13 onto Bethelview our Kia was rear-ended by a Lexus SUV. Cracked rear bumper cover was our result; Lexus unhurt. Other driver was older (my age) lady from NC who agreed to pay for my damage rather than claim on her insurance. Went to a local body shop and got the firm estimate, and lady wrote me a check. I'm thinking I can get it fixed cheaper elsewhere via friend's contacts, so we'll see soon. Were it just me I'd leave it as is, but wife wants it repaired.
Other accident was the son of a wheeler friend of mine driving his nicely built TJ. Seems he was out with 3 friends at 2:30am on a school night (he goes to So. Poly) on highway 52 on a wet night. Came around a corner, probably too fast, to see a deer in the road. End result was rolling over the guardrail, hitting a tree, and rolling back against the rail. Jeep has $10k+ of damage, but his dad is going to pay for the repairs at Tim's shop rather than claim insurance. Worst part was that the couple in the back were not belted in and are probably lucky to be alive. One had a nasty cut in his side and had to go to the hospital for repairs. The stock cage on the driver's side front was pretty smashed, but almost certainly saved the kid's life.
