Car wreck

Got into a fairly serious car accident this weekend. I was in the left lane after the toll booth on Exit 18 off of I90 East. Somebody in the right lane veered into me and slammed into my front right wheel. It hit me so hard the car went forty-five degrees, with only the two left wheels still on the ground. Fortunately my car Constantine righted himself, and I was able to get to a little ramp off to the side of the road, but the other car kept going. Never stopped, never got his information. I called a cop, who was not that helpful, only told me to go file a police report. Constantine doesn't look too bad on the outside, but he was too broken up to drive home-- I'm pretty sure the front axle is shot, as the car wouldn't turn on that side without pinning the wheel all the way around --so I had it towed to my mechanic's. [livejournal.com profile] bronzite was kind enough to come pick me up and take me home. I'm not hurt at all, so it could have been a lot worse, but this will likely be a costly and time-consuming fix. Not what I need right now, when things seem to all be breaking down one by one.
