Re: sad crossfire is sad
I had a similar instance a few years ago: rush hour traffic can get quite heavy here. I was in an exit only lane and traffic was stopped. Ford F150 behind me didn't. Fortunately I was in the tow car and his front end veed around the receiver. Both of his air bags deployed. My 4400 lb vehicle was pushed with all four locked about 11 feet. Fortunately I was about 15 feet behind the guy in front (I tend to leave more distance than some).
His insurance company took total responsibility and paid for everything including "diminished value". There were no problems.
That said if there was any contest I had a secret weapon: my trip log showed the incident down to the exact lattitude and longitude and to the second of the impact showing 0 mph for some time before. Having that I could and would have subpoenaed all cell phone records for that time.
This is the future.
