Isn't it wonderful when you have to pay for another's mistake?!

I'm sure you can call the impound yard and tell them you want to forfeit your car to them to exempt you from any charges of towing / storing.

if not - best pay right away and find someone steel scrap guy who will pick up your car for free.

Perhaps Alberta is different (like many things) but if you rear end someone, your fault 100%. which makes sense, because you have little to no control of avoiding someone rear ending you, but you have more control of avoiding whats in front of you. You have to be prepared that a vehicle in front of you, can stop a lot faster than you as well as most people don't react immediately, so leave some space!
