The End of a Good Van

On his way home from school this afternoon, Jon Paul was rear-ended. He and Naomi are okay- although shaken up. The other driver and her little girl (who was firmly strapped into a carseat) are also okay.

Alas, the van is not. I guess Jonathan and I will soon be car shopping. In the meantime, I get to be a very busy taxi driver- getting Denise to and from work, JonPaul and Naomi picked up from school 3 days a week after drill practice and all of the household errands done. And I will have a number of embroidery deliveries to do in the next few weeks. Thank goodness I don't have to get Jonathan to his car ride meeting place at 6:15 am!!

1. the back end of the van with the parts that flew off
2. The passenger seat. Notice how the inner side is twisted into the seating area.
3. This is the passenger side spring, with a leaf shoved up against a bent tailpipe.
4. this is a rear/side shot. The back side window fell out from the force of the blow.

Welcome to driving Jon Paul. I'm glad you are all ok; may you find a good car on the cheap.

That is very scary! I am so glad they did not get hurt. Our girls were in a car accident almost a year and a half ago - beware, they may have whiplash or soft tissue injury problems coming up in a few days.
