20 minutes from our destination and...CRASH.

Ever been in a car accident? I would say it's one of the most terrifying feelings anyone could ever feel. About a week ago my boyfriend and I were on our way back from St. Louis and we were about 20 minutes outside of La Crosse. We were just coming up a slight hill transitioning from a 55 to a 45. As we came up over the hill in the right lane there was a smaller car going about 15mph. Obviously going about 50mph it was kind of hard to stop. We hit the car and needless to say there was damage to both of the cars. No one was seriously hurt, but we had to get a tow and wait for the police to decide what was going to happen. My boyfriend got the ticket because we hit them, but I question that decision. How were we supposed to stop an SUV going 50 miles an hour for a small car going 15 miles an hour? Not to mention they had their dome light on, driving in the right lane when we hit them. What could they possibly be doing not pulled over off the road? hmm...
