Got rear-ended..haven't even had the car 2months

I was on Rt.24 in NJ near the Short Hills Mall. Traffic had slowed to a stop up ahead. A guy driving a pick-up truck wasn't paying attention and almost rear-ended the car in front of him. He slamed on his brakes and swerved, but managed to regain control and stop. (This was happening in the right lane on a 3 lane road, but I was over in the left.

Traffic came to a sudden stop in my lane. I stopped in time, but the lady behind me was looking at the pick-up truck mentioned above and ran right into me. My bumper is out of alignment and scratched up on the right side. Also, rhe right rear muffler was smashed in.

DAMN!!!!! I have only had this car since June. If people would only pay attention to the @$#)O@$# road!!!!

I actually live in Freehold, but I was headed up to Florham Park. I used to live in Springfield and I loved the area. It is just cheaper to live down south. (Plus, a quick hop to the beach.)
