May 10th, Michael’s car got hit by a propane truck while parked in the parking lot of LA Fitness
May 16th, we get the car back from the shop, all fixed up as good as new.
May 20th, Michael is driving with his friend Juilana to an afternoon wedding, he gets hit by an Accord making a left turn in front of him.
(wheel damage too but the tire is ok and it’s still drivable, alignment is all wacked though)
Luckily no one was hurt, neither the airbags in the Civic or the Accord went off and everyone was insured.
Now, Michael is one of the best drivers I know (perhaps the best). He’s avoided plenty of accidents with his defensive driving in the past, in the 8 years I’ve known him he’s never been in an accident, it was just an unlucky month.
We’re taking the car to the shop for an estimate today and hopefully the work can be done this week. Michael and I both have this week off, a planned vacation where we don’t actually go anywhere, so at least we won’t need to take time off from work to deal with the insurance company and car fixing stuff, that’s a little stress off the situation.
