    Do call the insurance company, report the accident, etc. And we are glad you are okay, and no one was physically hurt. Do not feel bad about totalling the car - today's cars are MEANT to get totalled if necessary in order to protect the passengers inside - and it worked.

    Very good! Yes, the most important thing it that YOU are OK. The second most important thing is that the other people are OK. Stuff? It can be replaced. It sounds a bit corny, but it is true.

    Check in with your insurance company, and plan on a nice relaxing bath to help soothe you through this stressful time. As someone mentioned, you may be achy tomorrow. That too will be minor and will pass. {{HUGS}}

    The accident was reported and all. I just hope I don't have to pay any doctor bills. I hit a GE worktruck, so they might have to send the guy to the doctor even though he's ok, some companies do. There was surprisingly very little damage to his truck considering mine was totalled. I'd expect my buick to destroy anything it touches since its such a heavy car. Its also front-end drive. I've never so much as fishtailed in this car and this was a full spin. Luckily I had my airbags deactivated, I don't want to know what I'd look like if those had gone off. I'm too short for airbags. I certainly can't contest the citation. Of course my vehicle was out of control, had I been in control I wouldn't have gotten into this mess. I'm sure it wasn't on the to-do list of this other guy either. He was really nice though, I hate to ruin his day but I was glad to have somebody calm and collected there with me.
