The Story:
It happened last November. I was on my way home from a Mazda Bowling Meet on the 10 fwy East in El Monte (by the Peck Road exit for those familiar with the area) around 2am when this dark car clips me in the rear sending me into the center divider at ~80 mph. AWD saved me and I was able to rotate the car so I wouldn't hit the center divider head on.
The rear driver's side quarter took most of the damage. The seat and side curtain airbags went off. I came to a stop in the middle of the fast lane with some cars still flying past me. My door was stuck so I had to kick it to get out. I then did something that was smart and stupid at the same time. I waited until it was clear and ran across the freeway to the "safe" side. I didnt want another car possibly hitting my car with me being there. Anyways, the police came and completely shut down the freeway for about 30 min. while they figured out what happened and to clean up all the debris from the road. The only injury I had was a small bruise on my tricep from the seat airbag.
Then end result is that I got more from the insurance company that I paid for the car and I was able to buy another speed6. I got a letter in the mail about a month ago stating they may have found the car who hit me. At this point, I dont really care.
I have pics of the before and after on my myspace.
