This is what happens when

Your car decides to runaway backwards down a hill. With no one behind the wheel.....




....And then crash into the corner of the building at the bottom.


Thankfully no one was in it and unbelievably no one was walking or driving on the road when it happened.


This is the view through what should be the rear window, looking down at the floor of the trunk/boot.
Look how squashed it is at the left side.

These photos are rubbish,as it was already half dark. I am also not really sure how best to photograph a car that is stretched along one side and squashed right along the other. But I wanted to document it anyway.

My poor car was towed away on the back of a lorry this morning. I will not know of her fate until at least monday.
Will the repair company fix it and give me a courtesy car while they are doing so? Or is it too badly damaged and the insurance company will write it off and pay out? Giving me a hire car in the meantime.
Either way it seems I will remain car-less until probably Wednesday.

Don't you just love dealing with insurance companies?? Grr.

Still trying to remember that everything material is replacable. Even when it seems like no one is wanting to replace it anytime soon!

 I am so thankful that no one was injured/killed by my crazy runaway car.

Sorry to hear about your car accident Lee Ann. I remember when I had an accident and they gave me a tuna can rental to use. It didn't fit my family (4 kids and myself the driver)in it. When I told them this wasn't acceptable they responded with "That's all we can offer you" Big help don't you think. Good luck I hope your insurance company takes care of you soon.

Yikes - just saw this - so glad nobody got hurt. Yes, it's just a possession, but still a stressful experience to deal with everything associated with it.

What a nightmare, those pics are scary, but so glad no-one was hurt. Insurance companies are just awful I was having meltdowns on a daily basis when our car was written off cos they were the same not doing what I had paid for!!! Urgh fingers crossed that you get it all sorted quickly!x
