| 2006 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | MY DAUGHTER'S 2006 PT CRUISER WAS INVOLVED IN A MINOR FENDER BENDER IN A WALMART PARKING LOT. HER CAR WAS STRUCK ON THE LEFT FRONT BUMPER FROM A 90 DEGREE ANGLE. NEITHER VEHICLE COULD HAVE BEEN GOING MORE THAN 15 MPH. THE IMPACT KNOCKED THE FRONT BUMPER LOOSE, PUSHED IN THE GRILL, AND BUCKLED THE HOOD SLIGHTLY ON THE PT CRUISER. IT DID NOT CATCH THE FENDER AS THE LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT LENS ASSEMBLY WAS NOT BROKEN. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS OF THE IMPACT, MY DAUGHTER SIGHTED FLAMES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH WERE VISIBLE UNDERNEATH THE BUCKLED HOOD. SHE AND HER PASSENGER IMMEDIATELY GATHERED THEIR PERSONAL BELONGINGS AND EXITED THE CAR. BOTH MY DAUGHTER AND THE OTHER DRIVER CALLED 911 BUT EVEN WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT 300 YARDS AWAY, THE FIRE DESTROYED THE VEHICLE. WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A $1500 BUMPER REPLACEMENT AND BODY SHOP JOB RESULTED IN A TOTALED VEHICLE DUE TO THE FIRE. THE POLICE DID NOT CITE EITHER DRIVER. *TR |
