to our Pioneer Day adventures--
On the way to the Memorial, we (along with the two sisters missionaries) were traveling down State Hwy. 64, when a small car drifted into our lane and sideswipped our car. We had just mentioned that we were going to be about 10 minutes early to pick up the pizza in Alma when it happened so our first reaction after the surprise was to laugh and say, well we won't be early now.
The other driver immediately pulled over, Gary and he shared all the appropriate information, took pictures while we were in the car laughing at how quickly the guy gathered his information--we were speculating that he might be experienced in this type of thing. He was actually driving for Door Dash so was in a hurry to make his delivery. Not much damage to either car. I googled Arkansas laws while waiting about accidents and found that you had to call the police immediately if there was a death or injury and within 30 days if it was more than $1000 of damage--so no police needed to be called. We aren't sure yet how much the repair will be. The damage seems minimal--even hard to see on a photo--but these days it is hard to know what sensors might have been affected or what rare piece is needed for that particular repair.
This "new" car we got for our mission is really taking it for the "team." Still not repaired from the malfunctions back in March despite a few stays in the repair shop. Been waiting for parts for over a month this time. And now it gets hit while heading to Institute. The good thing is we are all fine and no air bags went off.
