Default Minor accident in the WS6

Got clipped by an 18 wheeler today, was my fault and was my first real wreck ever. Damage isn't bad at all, just need a headlight cover and fender. I think some panel bonding will fix the bumper since it just has a small crack. Thank God the hood is ok..

Glad you are ok and the damage is not bad especially if you went up against a 18 wheeler.

I was switching lanes from the turn lane and I looked and saw no one coming. I barely pulled into the lane and bam I see my headlight cover 20ft above me. I am guessing he switched lanes right when I pulled out which is why I didn't see him, I looked several times plus he was speeding bad. It really wasn't entirely my fault but I am sure we would have both gotten tickets and our insurance would have gone up. We both said sorry and went on our way. It's only going to be like $160 to fix it so it wasn't worth all the trouble.
