Accident In My Neighborhood

There's a little barbershop around the corner with an apartment upstairs. It's been there for a very long time but had to stop serving customer's recently when a car crashed into it and smashed in the entire brick front, leaving the building uninhabitable.

Here's a pretty good writeup from an insurance newsletter. http://insurancenewsnet.com/article.aspx?id=317817

I hope they're able to fix the building. It's hard enough for small businesses these days without being crushed by a stray vehicle.

Freak Accident

This press release from my county police department discusses two freak accidents, one fatal. The not fatal accident is pretty amazing. The driver of the car had a kind of domino effect, but not the normal kind you get in traffic. These cars were parked and apparently there was some distance between them. There was also a house involved. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=500968957114

The driver is in stable condition, thankfully. I hope they have excellent insurance because one of the cars is a brand new Toyota. There were four cars involved plus the house, plus the cost of medical care at Shock Trauma. This is going to be a very expensive accident.

Have you checked your policy lately? I switched companies a few years ago and wasn't told I had only thirty thousand worth of coverage. That doesn't even cover a fancy SUV, much less any of the other charges that can crop up. You might want to make sure you have the coverage you thought you did.

Sad, sad story

This is a very sad account of an accident that occurred in my county this morning, which resulted in the death of a teen. While everyone else was physically okay they've got to be emotionally damaged. Such a tragedy.
