Some lady hit me in Bloomsburg Buckhorn area right after you get off 80 and towards Walmart. She ran the red light and I saw her coming and floored it. Thankfully it only tagged my left rear, but I didn't hear any breaks, so she was probably going 40-45. Spun me around almost 360 degrees, engaged both curtain air bags and my seat air bag. Everyone was ok, but the potential for disaster was certainly there. I pretty much wanted to cry.
Got news yesterday that she does not have insurance, so everything but repairs is coming out of pocket for me
I guess my insurance will open a suit with her, but who knows if I'll ever see any of it.

That's horrible man! I had a woman in a Honda Pilot run a red light and clip off the front of my Focus last fall. If I hadn't had seen her coming and slammed on the brakes, she would've T-boned me right in my passenger door. She only hit the front bumper enough to rip it off though.

The lube your referring to is that Quakersteak and Lube?
My favorite restaurant, the one in State College closed down so I always try and stop at the one in Bloomsburg on my way home.
Sorry to hear about the car, hopefully everything works out in your favor.

Your insurance should have EITHER Uninsured Motorist Property Damage or Collision. MOST states do not have both. PA is TYPICALLY a No Fault State so that means your company will deal with you and then go after her. As so as long as the info shows you not responsible.

Yeah, it was quaker steak.....I did get lunch there despite the unfortunate incident.
I do have uninsured motorist insurance, but from what I can tell that just means if they sue her (and she pays) I may get my deductible back. Police report is pretty solid as to what happened, my light was green for quite awhile as I yielded to oncoming traffic for my turn :-/
Unfortunately, and I have no facts yet, but people with no insurance tend to not have much money in general. I heard thus far she had a fine and lost her license, but will that get any money back for me?
My girlfriend wanted to attack the woman, but I assured her she is in an entire world of hurt for her crimes. It ruined a period of time for me, but nothing like she is dealing with......just wish it didn't take out my car in the process, you guys know how you feel about your cars and I'm the same
Also, no, no one was hurt at all, nor do we have any pains. I'm just glad everyone was alright.....sadly even though i consider it a friend cars are just things and people are irreplaceable.
It just sucks bad...I'm 25 and work hard every weekday for my money, this is a serious hit to my income and my lifestyle through no fault of my own

I know exactly how you feel. I was hit not too long ago and the money had to come out of my pocket due to the ******* running. I'm 25 and getting married in 4 1/2 months

That is a shame, I am sorry that happened but glad you are ok. Insurance blows my mind, I've been fortunate to have not been in an accident where I was driving. I would be livid if I had to pay for that out of pocket. How innocent people get screwed is beyond me.
