I was already running late to get home from work last night. I wound up being even later after getting rear-ended.
I was on Route 7 near Lisha Kill Road when the car in front of me braked suddenly. I quickly hit my brakes and avoided hitting the car. Then I remembered to check for that minivan that was tailgating me. I glanced in the rearview mirror and instantly knew what was going to happen next…CRASH!
No body was hurt. I had a little headache last night. That’s about it.
The car has a couple of gashes in the back bumper. That will have to be replaced. Near as I can tell, everything else seems fine.
This is the third time in less than a year my car has been involved in some sort of collision. In December someone backed into it when it was parked on the side of the road. In February a woman stepped out in front of me during a snowstorm, causing me to swerve and hit a guardrail. Now this. Needless to say, I’m on a first name basis with the guy at the body shop.
Just to add insult to injury, when I got home I was a little flustered getting out of the car and wound up locking the keys in it. We only have one key for my car. It’s one of those keys with a microchip in it and it costs about $60 to get a copy. We’ve never got around to doing that. Anyway, we wound up having to call AAA to get to get the car open.

Glad you're OK.
As for your key, usually you can have a key made that will unlock the doors only. They only cost a few bucks.
