6/29 car crash

My girls were involved in a car accident on their way to the Justin Bieber concert on June 29, 2010 in Minneapolis. The occupants of the vehicle were my daughters Cassie, age 18, Micaela, age 13, Brenna, age 10 and my "other" daughter from another mother, Brittany also 18. The girls were stuck in traffic where there was road construction. The car was at a complete standstill when Cassie (the driver) glanced in her rearview mirror and noticed a white vehicle coming up behind them pretty fast. There was no reaction time as the white vehicle slammed into the back of the girls' vehicle. Cassie and Brenna were taken to the hospital via ambulance complaining of neck and head pain. Micaela and Brittany were transported to the hospital by a trooper with no complaints other than to be checked out. Cassie and Brenna went through xrays and all the girls were discharged later that night. Imagine being their mother getting a frantic phone call from them stating they were just in a bad car accident 3 1/2 hrs away!

The girls missed the concert completely only to return to the hotel as the concert was being let out and numerous fans were entering the lobby of the hotel. Needless to say, I had three bummed out girls and one very emotional 10 yr old. She was listening to her ipod when a Justin Bieber song came on and she just lost it. Crying uncontrollably, unable to speak.

Cassie and Brittany offered to drive the two younger ones down to the concert and pay for hotel, gas and snacks out of their own pockets as long as I bought the tickets so they were really doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.

I have attached pics of both cars. By the way, the other driver is believed to have been intoxicated though I am not able to confirm that at this time and going around 50-55 mph at the time of impact. As I stated before, the girls were at a standstill in traffic so the impact sent them into the car ahead of them as well. Right now, I don't know the status of Cassie's car whether the other insurance company will pay for the repairs or consider her car totaled. This is Cassie's car that she had less than a year and was paying for herself.
