Hi my name is Ron. My son and I were rear ended and sustained
whiplash in this accident. We were going to a car was to clean
out our Dodge gand caravan the traffic was fair to moderate;
I was in the right hand side signaling right to turn into the
car wash. As I was turning in another vehicle was starting to
come out of the "in" route to the carwash, I had slowed
down and come to a stop to see where the other vehical was going.
At that time I heard someone,s brakes squealing for approximately
2 seconds at that instant I new we were going to be hit. Before
I could warn my son it was over. I had jammed my wrist on the
steering wheel and hurt my neck. My son immediately said his
neck hurt and he had gotten a terrible headache. After the incident
I checked to make sure it was ok to get out of the van and luckily
for me I didn,t have to call the police. The police officer had
hit me from behind. He was on his way into work .
I saw a police officer walking towards me asking if everyone
was ok and I told him my son needed medical attention. He called
for an ambulance. Moments later a fire truck arrived at the scene
EMT took over from there and got my son stabilized until the
ambulance arrived. Another police officer arrived and took statement.
( I was seen by my family doctor the next morning. from the back
of my head, my neck and shoulders were hurting by morning)
We both had worn our seat belts,( I had taught my son that was
the first thing you do when you get in a vehicle) I know for
a fact that my son would have hit the windshield if he had not
been wearing it and would have sustained more injury than he
already had. The middle seat of the van was knocked loose and
hit the back of the front seats were we were at. (The middle
seat was not properly secured).
All in all, everyone came out fine. The police report said that
the vehicle that hit me had skidded 15 feet and was traveling
approximately 35 mph at the time of impact.
Our vehical is a 2002 Dode grand caravan and the vehical that
hit us was a 1993 GMC 4x4
estimated damage in police report was $500 on the GMC and $6000.00
to the Dodge. I got estimate for $3467.21 at a local dealership.
That was just visial and did not cover damage that is not evident
until after work begins.
