[G.R.]

Our secretary was coming into the office this morning and was clipped on the rear bumper by a gal in a brand new Mercedes SUV at the intersection a 1/4 block from the turn in to the office--she was driving their old farm truck, a Dodge 1 ton PU(her car is in the shop for a tune-up)the truck has one of those huge Luverne bumpers on the back
Did about $3k worth of damage to the Mercedes--bent the PU bumper a little and removed some paint
Now get this--Carolyn was on a thru street the gal driving the Mercedes jumped the stop sign--then she had the audacity to try and blame Carolyn told the Police officer Carolyn deliberately stopped in front of her--then she had no DL with her--gave the officer a credit card as ID, couldn't find her insurance or registration--and insisted she was innocent, it was all Carolyns fault--threatened Carolyn with a lawsuit(her husband is an attorney)before the police arrived--Carolyn was interviewed and then was told she could leave--no ticket--she was really shook up as she has never had a moving violation in 45yrs of driving and never had an accident--don't know what the Mercedes got but knowing the BI Police she probably didn't get anything more than a warning--if you lived here you'd understand the polotics on this island--don't mess with the "rich" folks
