On my way to pick up my son tonight I got in a wreck. An 18 year old kid stopped in the left lane of I30 because of a blowout. Not able to swap lanes due to traffic I came to a stop looking for a gap to get over a lane and around the car. Not in a good situation myself I check my rear view mirror looking for gap in traffic when I see a motorcycle locking his brakes up and plowing towards me. Well I got smacked in the left rear side, the motorcycle kept traveling and came to a stop wedged between the other car and the HOV rails. The motorcycle rider flipped off his bike and ended up between the HOV rail and the permanent rail. No one was seriously injured, the motorcycle rider (wearing a helmet) was transported by ambulance to the hospital to be checked out.
My car was unable to be driven off, the motorcycle hit hard enough to snap the control arm and take a chunk of the wheel off. Hopefully I'll talk to an adjuster tomorrow and find out how bad it really is. Don't have a way to upload photos at the moment, but it doesnt look pretty.
