Jared was on his way home tonight from raking Kathy's leaves (the lady that he works for sometimes)and was stopped at a stop light on the highway by our house when someone in an SUV rammed into him going ~45-50 mph. Jared said he saw it in his rear view mirror seconds before he hit and the guy didn't even slow down. As Jared got his phone to call 911 he notice the guy backing up. He thought that maybe he was just trying to get off the road, but no the guy just drove away. Despite the fact that he just bashed up our car Jared could have been really hurt. The force from the SUV hitting our car had caused our car to run into the car in front of it. The guy from that car tried to stop the run away driver and almost got hit. To bad for the stupid mean driver that his front license plate fell off in the crash so there was a police officer waiting at the guys house when he got home. The people behind the SUV stopped to help and said that the driver of the SUV was swerving so he was probably drunk especially considering that there had been a Hawkeye football home game that had recently ended and for those of you that live or have lived in Iowa City before know that people start drinking at like 6 in the morning on game day.
Jared thankfully still smiling after the accident.
Look at all that crap we pulled out of the car.So since Jared's car was totaled earlier this year (click
here to see that story)we are now with out a car. We don't know if the other guy has insurance or not , but I am betting not since apparently he doesn't even have a drivers license. I am just very glad that Addi was not in the car at the time and that Jared walked away from the accident with only some whip lash. I can only imagine what would have happened if he had taken his scooter like I wanted him to.

Oh wow Jess, I'm just glad Jared is okay!!
So sad! It's like you guys have almost as bad of luck with cars as we do (let me know if you get your car stolen or get a hit and run and DON'T find the person who did it on a new car you didn't even have a license plate for...) I think it's hilarious the license plate fell off and the police man was waiting for the guy!
What is with Iowa City drivers??? That exact thing happened to me! Hope you get your deductible back. They impounded my guys car and apparently he didn't mind cause he never went to go get it. Lame. Give him lots of neck rubs in the next few days. Poor Jared. And poor car.
