its said that accidents usually happen close to home or your destination. when i lived at home with my parents i was rear ended waiting to turn left on to my parent's street. the woman was drunk, about 3p, sunny outside and she had 2 small kids in the car. she thought she could drive the car home. your rear end sounds like mine. luckily no one was seriously hurt. she thought she could drive her car home. its was stuck into the rear of mine. the cops clued her in on her exit plans. good luck.
