i had something like that happen in my '66 years ago. an older lady was distracted and came up on stoped traffic in the left lane, way to fast. she swerved over to miss rearending them and rear ended me in the right lane. smart choice on her part. she totaled her car. but mine had a huge back bumper on my dump bed- did nothing to it! i felt it hit and she pushed the truck foward but not enough for me to hit the car in front of me. her car was toast, one more buick sent to the promise land!
the funniest thing was her insurance contacted me and insisted on paying for the scratches on my bumper. i told them the dump bed still worked and no harm done, but they sent me $500 anyway. i guess they didn't want me changing my mind and cryin' whiplash.
