Got into an accident on Saturday when Karen, Garrett, and I were heading home from Genie and James' wedding. It was my fault, I glanced at something on the side of the road, and the Escalade in front of me stopped short. I looked back, and didn't have enough room to stop, so I rear ended them.

I'm fine, and so was Garrett. Kare was in the hospital for about 8 hours, she was cramping pretty bad and they wanted to make sure that she wasn't going into labor or anything. She's fine though, no worries (thank God!).

The Jeep will need (at minumum) hood, bumper, grill, header panel, all front driver's side lights, radiator, rad support, driver's side fender, and driver's side inner fender. Didn't get the hood open at the scene to see if there was any more damage, though I think I'll need a fan and an A/C condensor as well. Before I shut it off, the fan was banging into something pretty hard.

Just waiting for the insurance company to check things out and see what they say. The Jeep is at Hampton Auto Body in Newton, NJ on Rt. 206. That's who Newton Police were contracted with to do the tow. I was going to have AAA come pick it up, but with Kare starting to cramp, I figured that taking care of her and getting to the hospital with her was more important.
