Wreck
I was in a wreck last night. And it wasn't my fault. (Whew!) I was coming home from church and came to a major intersection and saw a pickup coming from my right. My light was green and I thought, "Surely this guy is going to stop!" And then I saw that he was going to plow on through. I slammed on my brakes and honked my horn all while thinking, "He's not stopping. But maybe I can avoid this wreck. Nope. I'm going to catch the front of my car on his pickup. But it won't be too bad. I don't think I'll be hurt." I braced myself (tensed up) for the impact and felt my glasses fly off my head. Later, I told Andy that it was AMAZING to me how many thoughts can fly through your mind in milliseconds!! After the impact, the guy came to my car and asked if I was hurt (I didn't think I was at that point). He asked me whose fault it was and I told him he'd run a red light. (I thought it was strange that he didn't know---I'm guessing he was on his cell phone.) We got out and looked at my car. I was shocked that there was foam inside the bumper!! It appeared to still be drive-able and nothing was leaking. I asked him if he had insurance and he got his card for me to copy information. I got in my car and called the police---I thought I might need a record. I also called my husband. The guy got a ticket.
I'm so sad that my car has to be fixed. I love my car...it was a gift...and it has been a great little car. But maybe it will come out looking like new.
And now I'm on my way to the chiropractor. My neck and back are a little sore.
