Getting off lightly

[unixronin]

cymrullewes was just rear-ended, driving my Mercedes, on the Rte 3 overpass from I-495 in Massachusetts.  She was hit while stopped at a red light by a newly-licensed Canadian driver.  The other driver was insured, neither person was injured, and damage to the car sounds minor, though we'll want to get it properly inspected to be sure.

Update:  Visible damage is restricted to the bumper skin and the rear corner of the left fender panel.  Should be easily repaired, probably without having to pull any body panels.

It was apparently minor enough that she heard it almost more than felt it. The other driver apparently left it too late to stop, tried to make a last-second lane change, and came a few inches short of making it.
