A "little" Collision - San Diego, CA

Boots was driving into downtown San Diego to pickup Ruthi at the airport, when she decided to get off the highways and get something to eat first. In her search for a parking place, she got too close to the vehicles parked on the right side of the street. The Ford's passenger's mirror struck the drivers mirror on a CAL TRANS truck. Boots pulled over, parked and began the search for the driver of the CAL TRANS "victim". She did locate the mirror's pieces that had been destroyed and flung under other parked vehicles. There was an In-N-Out burger place right near the site of the bump. So, she went in there seeking the driver. The manager even did a PA announcement trying to find the driver with no responses. So, Boots returned to the CAL TRANS truck and waited for the driver to appear. Eventually, the driver came and they exchanged info. Boots, sans a passenger mirror, was able to continue on and pick up Ruthi at the airport.

To replace the Ford's mirror cost over $200. Later we discovered that there was some body damage from the mirror hitting and scratching the doors. So, we don't have the final total on the cost of this "little" collision.
