We were on our way home from our winter in FL with plans to stop in Nashville and visit our son and his wife. Just outside Montgomery we were on a four lane highway with access for cars to cross. A lady driving a van pulled into the turn lane that would have had her cross our two lanes. She stopped and then zoomed across ahead of a semi and directly into our drivers side! We were moving about 30 mph so she scrapped down the side. When we got pulled over I walked back to see how she was doing and she would not roll down her window. Finally a boy, about 9 years old, stood up and told her to roll down the window. The boy spoke very broken English and said that they were both fine. She was on the phone and would not look at me. She spoke zero English. When the police arrived I was told she had an international license and very basic insurance.
We did stop for a night in Nashville where our son discovered she had taken a chunk out of our rear tire. We were lucky it was warm in Nashville because we could not get to our plug so we did not have heat. She had also bent the generator exhaust so we could not use the generator. The water pump was also broken so we had zero water.
The drive home from Nashville is usually a two day trip but we came all the way home in one day and Duffey was able to back into the driveway in the dark!
