For his part, since he couldn't see around the car in front of him...when the Jeep hit the car in front of them, he didn't have enough reaction time to do anything. He tried to steer clear...but probably made the impact worse. There's hardly any damage to the back of the Jeep...and that was the only car able to drive away.
In PA, as most states, beings he hit the car in front of him, this part of the accident was his fault. So I'll get dinged for his total and the damage to the back of the Jeep (guessing that's 500 to a grand.)
Jetta has to be totaled, engine oil, power steering, and coolant all left at the scene. Front end is gone, windshield, doors, airbags.
All involved were kids 18 and under just leaving high school. Lack of driving awareness at its best.
And before one of you chumps chimes in with a "this thread is worthless without pics" - I know how yinz love carnage. |
Glad he's ok and hopefully he logs it in his driving experience memory bank. That's all that really matters.
