Another Day, Another Car

OK, here's the story:

Yesterday my brother, my sister, my sister's rabbit and I were going to my grandma's house so we could take the rabbit (Buster) to the Cuyahoga County Fair and do some other things with them.  We were stopped at a light and then we started to go again, but the cars in front of us stopped, so I stopped as well.  The guy in front of me did not stop, however, so he ran into us, pushing us into the car in front.  Both of the airbags went off, and when I tried to get out of the car the guy who hit me had to help me wrench the door open because the back door had gotten jammed into it a little bit.  We also had to wrench my brother's door open, and my sister had to climb through the window because her door was too jammed.  After the police arrived, we drove into the Mr. Chicken parking lot across the street to get out of the way, and there was horrible screeching/grinding noise that was caused from the bumper scraping up against the tires.  The police man and I decided to get the car towed, and so we got Buster (who was a very scared little bunny, but who could blame him) out and the police man took us to my grandma's house.

Everyone was alright, mostly.  I have some beautiful bruised on both of my upper arms and one on my chest, and my neck is pretty sore.  My brother cut his lip on his mouth during the accident, so he was bleeding, he has some burns on his face and neck from the airbag, and he banged his knee pretty hard.  My sister has a sore neck, and that's about it. Today we went to the emergency room just to make sure that things were alright, and the doctor said that everything looked good, but that we'd be sore for quite awhile.  Oh, and my parents were in Indiana at the time picking up a car for my brother that he had bought on Ebay, so they didn't find out until about 7:30, when it happened at about 3:00. It's a good thing that we won that car, because the car that got wrecked is the only on in my family that I can drive, since the other one was the one that got totaled in the last accident.  I swear, one more accident like this this year and I'm never driving again (okay, probably not, but I won't be quite as eager).
