PD dance and weight training sessions today! They felt good! But the afternoon went awry! I went out for a bowl of soup around 5pm. Went to the CG since they have nice soups with a big slab of cornbread. Soup was great!

On the way back, I stopped at the intersection of San Antonio and El Camino. I was in the middle lane. The light turned green and the three cars heading north started across the intersection. As we neared the middle of the intersection, a car came flying across from our left. He had run his red light!

He clipped the car on my left, shoved it into the left side of my truck, and pushed me into a car with a woman and child on my right. Meanwhile, the guy who had run the light and set off the chain reaction was rolling through the intersection. His car looked like it had gone airborne and rolled to a stop against the curb on his right. From what I was told, the driver of the rollover was sent to the hospital. The three of us that smashed into each other were not hurt, including the child. But my vehicle is going to need some work.

I was able to drive it home despite the wheel well being crushed inward. I managed to park it on the curb since there were odd noises when I tried to back up. It was fortunate that there wasn't more damage.

The guy who got hit on my left took damage on both side of his car. The woman on my right got only light damage to her vehicle. I took damage mostly on my left side. The rollover was probably totaled.

If the guy who hit us has insurance, we'll be lucky. Otherwise, my $500 deductible will be the most I ever will pay for a bowl of soup! To be continued!
