On december 12th, 2019, i was involved in a three-car fender bender on fairfax county parkway in virginia. i was traveling in slow-moving traffic at 7:20am, close to reston hospital, when the two cars in front of me slammed on their brakes unexpectedly and i unfortunately could not brake in time to avoid hitting the car in front of me. the car directly in front of me was a toyota suv and had a tow-bar, which took most of the impact of the crash and caused damage to my vehicle. aside from some minor scratches, both of the other cars involved in the accident were fine and the two drivers were able to continue on their ways to work. my car, on the other hand has been declared a total loss by my insurance company as it immediately burst into flames upon impact. as i mentioned above, the traffic was slow-moving so we were not traveling at more than 25-30mph at any time on that stretch as we navigated the traffic. this should have been a very low-impact and minor incident; however, for some unknown and unexplainable reason, the ford focus was on fire before i even knew that i ...
