On my way home from a boating weekend on Sunday morning. Stopped at a traffic light on US 13 in Pocomoke MD. Light turned green, first car pulled away, second car pulled away, I moved my foot off the brake pedal towards the accelerator and screech - bang. I was rear-ended. I checked on my grandson in the back seat of the pickup - he's ok. I called my wife who was in the second car to pull away. I called 911 and then was transferred to the city police. I got out of truck to check on damage and can't see any. Looked at the other vehicle and see the front bumper hanging off with a big hole in it where my 3-ball insert caught him. Looked back at my truck and confirmed no damage. Asked the other driver if anyone was hurt - got a blank stare. Asked if he had an insurance card - got a blank stare. Asked if he had a driver's license - got a blank stare. Told the cop I was talking to that it didn't appear that anyone was hurt, but could not be certain because no one in the other car spoke English. He said, "I have a car on the way". After a few minutes from the cops arriving on scene they told me that if my vehicle was drivable I could leave. They didn't see any point in holding me up. The cop glanced back over his shoulder and said, "This is going to take a while".
