Pray You NEVER get into a Serious Car Accident in Panama City

Yes it happened to me! I was in the car with my girlfriend.

We were waiting at a red light, then BOOOOOM!!! An idiot taxi hits us from behind. Again, we were STOPPED at a traffic light and had been waiting for at least 30 seconds.

• It took me 10-15 mins to flag down a police officer (even though we were in a high traffic part of the city (Calle 50).
• The policeman takes the report, but lets the taxi guy go before the insurance company arrives.
• Our insurance, they don't show up for at least an hour.
• The insurance calls the ambulance, they don't show up for an hour an half.

Thank God it wasn't too serious, or we would've just died there in the street.

I heard there are private ambulance companies. These are worth investigating, because they might be your ONLY HOPE if you need immediate medical attention.

(I wish I was exaggerating all of this, but I'm not) :(
