Coming home from work on Tuesday the 15th, I was involved in an accident while driving the "Bird". The other driver says he was forced off the intersate highway (I-44) across a concrete medium and into the on ramp lane that I was driving in causing me to rear in him. No one was hurt. The "Bird" was not so lucky. The other driver was given the ticket. He told the highway patrol he had insurance. After I called his insurance carrier, they called me Friday afternoon to tell me that at the time of the accident he had no coverage. So I have to file a claim with my insurance carrier. I called them just before closing time on Friday and I am waiting to hear from them to tell me what to do.
The visiable damage to the "Bird" is to the hood, grille, both panels above and below the grille and maybe both front fenders. Can't get the hood open, so I don't know what other damage was done. I was able to drive the "Bird" home and right now it is in the garage at the house. Lucky the air bag did not deploy.
I checked with the dealer I bought the car from and was told they do not have an auto body shop. Was given the name of two shops.
Will try to post some pictures of the car at a later time.
