Glad you are OK as well. My wife has a similar car to yours. Looks to be a 2009 to 2011 Honda Accord, right?
I see one whole wheel assembly came off. Was that as a result of the impact or did that come off before? Did your car make any strange noises before the accident?
Makes me want to get under her car and look everything over.
Truly am glad you are OK.
By the way... Not everyone in town is part of some lynch mob although Deb is right in that there were a very vocal few who had a real thing for former Chief Thiessen.
If you have a minute and the desire, could you share what you know about that wheel?
welcome to the tracy lynch fest......don't worry you are not alone.....remember what they did to the woman police chief? Tracy is the Talibanistan of san joaquin....
ME: Thank you for your well wishes. I have gone and checked that pole now 3 or 4 times - even tonight - and both light were working. It's sad that others are not and that no one is paying to replace them. I can only think lack of insurance plays a part, because if you don't have certain things in your policy you are personally responsible. And in this economy thats a rough thing for someone to come up with personally. As far as the wheel coming off my car, that has been one thing that has been mentioned. I guess based on what the wheel looked like and where it ended up it's a possibility. I don't know. I don't really know how it all happened. It just happened SO fast. One minute I was on the road and the next I was flying down the median - totally missed the hitting of the pole part. I guess we'll figure it out.............
