What are the odds?

Yesterday, while awaiting to make a left turn off of a rural highway, a local roofing company truck, plowed into the back of our family sedan, containing my wife and two of our youngest children.

The driver made no attempts to express any concern for the people he had just slammed into at 35mph He simply remained at his vehicle....In fact; He LAUGHED, when my wife asked him WTH? (He may not speak English). Some bystanders came to my wife's aid, thank God. Called 911/etc.

Fotunately, the kids walked away, seemingly only bruised-up a bit....The wife's unsure...Not feeling so hot this AM.

They always do!

So I call the place of business and ask to speak to an owner, (I'm quite sure they have no idea who I/we are). The gal wants to know why, so I run down the story,

She tells me she'll have "so n' so", (the "general manager), call me tomorrow.....I said, no, I want to speak to an owner; Not some kid that works there. She says thre's a lot of owners. I said, any one of them will do.

Then she goes on some story of how the guy that hit my wife was borrowing a truck that is registared to another employee...Along about now, I simply state that we can do this the easy way or the long, hard, expensive way....She hangs-up on me.

The wife gives them a call later that day....She gets the same story. Wife says; Look; Walk outside, get one of the insurance cards from anyone of the vehicles, All we want is the ins. info. Wife gets similar story, blah, blah, blah....

Oh yeah; They pay for their employee's personal auto ins. as part of the "benifits", (Huh?...WTH?); How does that work? On the job, as well as off the clock? Never heard of such a policy.

The real reason, of course, is that most of their employee's are illegals and have no valid DL's, etc.....

They're going to get they're proverbial tit'n the ringer, if they're not careful.

Here, here. Hope the prayers helped.

Glad she's doing OK Tom.

She's up & about....Still lingering soreness/pain....Hopefully all will subside.....Thanks for asking :)

"Terms?"....Has no bearing. The responsible party is going to compensate for the car and any losses incurreed; Period.

I know what you mean with the smile....I do that myself; They say it's a defense mechanism of sorts....An actual laugh however, that's completely different.....Not a cultural thing.....Could be cultural, if the selfish/crimminal mindset is a culture.

Tom, my prayers are with you, your wife and family. I hope nothing serious comes of it and hopefully the other vehicle had insurance.

Don't know.....Have to wait till next Wednesday to get police report.
