Default Last night i had an accident....

Ok, first of all we had a ton of rain yesterday and the streets had some sizable puddles. I was crusing along at about 35-40mph, when i see a truck w/ its flahers onin my lane like 150ft ahead. I think, Oh he's having engine problems so i switch lanes. With my terrible headlights(I shoul have ordered those damn halo's off ebay last month!)i saw the 1in deep street-wide puddle at the last minute. I braked but hydroplaned into the back of his truck..he had no damage. As for me my bumper will need to come off, and my left fender is hit pretty good. Im in the process of calling body shops right now.....i didnt like my front bumper that much anyway T__T

My sholder hurts, but im fine. The airbags didnt even deploy. I forgot to add that the check engine light is on........

Yea, it needs to be towed, the FL tire is shredded and the inner wheel wall rubs on the tire now...but i have a shop that picks up and drops offfor free.
