The three men in the van were all hispanic construction workers of some sort. They were either unable, or unwilling, to respond to my simple question "Which one of you was driving?" Fortunately, the police officer was bilingual and was able to get to the bottom of who was driving, that he had no license to drive, and that fortunately the owner of the van, for whom the three men presumably worked, does indeed have valid insurance. As soon as I touch base with my carrier I'll have someone from ERA come down and take her back up for a full inspection and then from there over to Connecticut Custom and have it put back in exactly the same shape it was prior to this unfortunate incident. Frankly, I just don't think we have anyone around here that can do the job that ERA and CCC can do. I plan to have Bob P. kind of oversee it all, if he would be so kind to do so.
