I'm ok, My Grandma brick mobile is not, I'm posting this journal entry to tell everyone at once and not have to make a huge scene out of it.
I was comming off of exit 4 mergin onto 195 West, heading to fall river. There was a lady in front of me going normal speed and I peeked over my shoulder to check my blind spot. When I turned back, she was stopped dead instead of moving to merge. I didn't even have the time to get on the brake... PWND...
The first thing I did was check to make sure everyone was all right. The lady was talking on her cell phone and wouldn't roll down the window so I could call 911 to see if she needed to go to the hospital or anything! So finally, she finishes her call after what seems about 5 mins and I'm already on the line with 911 reporting the accident. I didn't get a word of english out of this lady as she started crying and shaking. I didn't know how to calm her down so I told her that I just called the police and that she should stay in the car and not move around if she was hurt. Thankfully the patrol car came quickly and the officer was really nice. I kept trying to ask if the lady was all right and he said she was fine, just seemed shaken up... then a small space later, the fire department's there and then an ambulance and then he told me that she was complaining about a neck and head injury~! Needless to say, the whole thing's a blur and I'm just dealing with the emotional ramifications of what happened. My car was just so damned totaled that I had to turn it in for scrap, no front end kind of prevents a car from moving.
The shock hasn't really set in yet, but it's slowly creeping up, I think I'll be ok but I'm still frazzled. I hope the lady is alright and this doesn't come down on me like a Guillotine. What can I do but continue forward. I've already looked at replacement cars and I'm going to contact the insurance place tomorrow.
So physically I'm ok, and as far as I know, so is everyone else. Ok, that's all, I love you all and may the gods and goddesses watch over you.
Peace and love
Ian...

For the record, I hate people who stop on the highway instead of merge. Its dangerous and they don't realize it takes more energy and time to reach the speed of traffic if the start from a dead stop. Assholes.
I'll keep my eyes open to see if there are any inexpensive cars around for you, but since I'm more near Boston than Fall River, I doubt it will help you much.
Be safe my brother. The worst part is over.
