Christmas Car Crash
My sister Catherine got clobbered in an accident just 20 minutes after leaving Ft. Smith on the 26th. Traveling in the left lane, she was hit by a lady changing lanes at an entrance ramp. The state trooper that was attempting to merge onto I40 got hit by both the lady's car and Cathy's car. She had to correct right to keep from going into head-on traffic on the opposite side of the interstate. Cathy's beautiful Saab was creamed and sits in a tow yard in Sallisaw. She is all bruised up from her seat belt but at least it saved her. I never knew what a hassle it is getting back home when you are in a accident that totals your car. Insurance pays for thirty days of rental car but if you don't take it back to the place you got it, you have to fork over a $250 drop fee. We went through all kinds of scenarios of me driving her there and flying back, $400. Her flying and trying to mail all her stuff back to Dallas, $500. Me taking my car to Dallas & back, Joe thought my car was not in good enough shape. Finally, Bill drove her down and is spending the night. What a Christmas!!
