My sister linked a video while I keep searching for articles about it.

Before I found out that Mom was cited I sent a picture to a local news channel.

I deleted it when I found out that Mom was cited for failure to yield and deleted the conversation, but they asked if they could use the picture.

Not wanting to compound our troubles, I said that I didn't have permission after all.

I checked every news channel a little while ago and still didn't see anything.

I still have many questions.

The 3,000-pound Accord could only accelerate to 10.3 MPH in the distance of the turn lane and it was a 35 MPH zone, so the 4,800-pound minivan was driving at least that fast, probably faster.
Trigonometry says that Mom could have made the minivan move at a 10.5° angle, but the minivan moved at a 75° angle, so he must have made a left turn.
There aren't any skid marks, so he didn't brake.
I shared this this morning and my California sister said this is great research and I needed to share it with the police and insurance, but my Gilbert sister said "I told you insurance says they won't fight this, stop arguing!"
She did not tell me that and I definitely was not arguing.
My brother's SLP, who became an attorney, said nobody cares what I say and they have smarter people than me working on it.
Of course, she acts like everyone is smarter than me, but it doesn't mean there are competent people working on it.
She did say that the other driver was required to mitigate damages, which would involve braking.
Since there is no way that Mom could have sent him into the building, that is entirely on him.
At 35 MPH he would have had 1.8 seconds to react, but I wonder how much speed he would have lost making an immediate left turn.
Mom was cited for failure to yield, but that doesn't mean that the other driver wasn't cited for anything.

My sister linked a video showing people being treated and the guy who drove into an apartment building was sitting up and looking alert.

I really hope that Mom just has a ticket for hitting the minivan and insurance says that she needs to pay for damage to the minivan, which cannot be determined after he drove into an apartment building, which isn't her fault, but $1,000 would have been enough to repair the $2,600 vehicle?

I am supposed to drive back to Show Low tomorrow and this time my sister is supposed to cram into my car so she can drive back Mom's car so my nephew can learn to drive on it before school resumes.

My sister has not mentioned her Odyssey, but it is only several years old and she has had many difficulties with it. There was some electronics issue causing the alarm to go off constantly and she couldn't drive it for a month or two while parts were on backorder.

She said she was making payments on a vehicle she couldn't drive and she needed a vehicle, so they lent her a new one, but when she came over on Sunday her minivan had a personalized license plate holder.

My brother-in-law's Hyundai isn't holding up too well. I borrowed it a few months ago and thought it drove pretty well, the brakes just squeaked.

My sister said they just spent thousands fixing it up and they cheaped out on the brakes.

Mom's car is better than my sister's or her husbands--at least as long as the Odyssey keeps breaking.

Someone needs to thoroughly clean Mom's car, though.

Well, my brother-in-law doesn't keep his car clean, so someone needs to clean Mom's [just not deep-clean it].

My sister offered to help pack, but she only has one day off, although she has next week off.

I need to drive down Friday evening or early Saturday for my friend's funeral.

I was in the grocery store with my brother when I found out she passed.

I really don't want to be awake right now.
