Minor accident this morning

Hello,

So I left the gym fifteen minutes earlier than I normally do because I started getting a bad sinus headache that got worse the more I exercised. I was driving down the road in Southbridge and there was a white commerical van behind me. The driver was drinking from a cup of coffee. She was about twelve to fourteen feet behind me. I was going about 20mph, and slowed down even more to let a car merge into my lane from a side street. Then the van hit me from behind. She was going faster than I was, because she hit me pretty hard, in my opinion. No question that it was her fault. She claims she slid on the street. I personally think she was more absorbed in her cup of coffee and not paying attention. Either way, neither of us were hurt. She even had a couple of handicapped adults in her van with her, as passengers. My neck definitely was sore for a while, but the EMT checked me out and I said I didn't think I needed to go to the hospital. So just thought I'd share my morning adventure with you all. The kicker is, before I left the house, a semi-comatose Brian said, "Be careful driving this morning." He never says that to me. Hmmm....

Thanks, guys. My neck is better. At first I had tingling in my finger tips, but that went away a short time later. I just have a bad headache, probably compounded by the headache I had at the gym (which was the reason I left earlier than normal.) She cracked my bumper pretty good, and took paint off, but that's it.

But want to hear a weird coincidence? Brian's father said this morning he let a woman merge in front of him, just like I did, and the woman crashed right into a car in the opposite lane, didn't even look, just gassed it really hard and went smack into the other car. What the heck is going on??? Drive safe, EVERYONE.
