Starsky, Thanks for the affirmation about how I handled the day prior to the trip. About 200 miles from our home my W and I were involved in a 3 car accident, on the interstate. I was slowing down to stop for traffic that had stopped on the highway. The road was wet from raining earlier in the day. Without warning I felt a strong impact. I knew it was not a fender bender. I felt like I was on an amusement park ride.
When I stepped out of the car, the back end of the car looked like an accordian. the back window was shattered. It was a significant impact. My W was outside screaming. A highway patrolman told me that an elderly woman failed to slow down for the stopped traffic. She had hit someone behind me, who then hit me.
We were transported to the ER in Charleston, WV for precautions at 7PM and stayed until 4AM. My neck is sore, but nothing was discovered to be wrong on the X-Ray or CAT Scan. My was W leaning forward at the time of impact, so hit her mouth on the dashboard. Her mouth, neck, and wrist are sore. Nothing is broken.
We spent the night and next day in Charleston. My W took control and managed all the phone call with the insurance company and rental car company. I decided it was best to return home and not drive the additonal 500 miles with sore necks and backs. We have an appointment with our chiropractor today. I'm not going to return to work, as was scheduled, to help as-needed at home.
My W broke down in the car, needing to describe the accident and her reaction to it.
