Not a Good Morning for a Car Crash

Share photos on twitter with Twitpic Dangit… I hate car wrecks. Especially when they are my own car… and my own person, involved. Coming in to work this morning (I knew I shouldn’t have been early!) on 700 E a lady ran the red light on 100 S and I slammed into her. There was a witness, too, and so the cops immediately gave the other lady a citation.

I am okay, she was okay. She had some scratches on her hand and was bleeding. Some guys pulled her out of her SUV through the driver side window. Which the EMT, later, said was a bad idea and they should have waited for them. Which I understand because if she would have been injured that could have caused more injuries. But I wouldn’t have wanted to be stuck in that car either.

Share photos on twitter with Twitpic I think I’m okay.. though I think my neck was better this morning when I woke up, than it is now. I guess time will tell. My husband came by and picked me up and drove me into work. Needless to say, I have no desire to work anymore today. But I’m the only one here to cover, so I’ll stick around for a while. Plus, sitting at home brooding about it wouldn’t help at all.

When I get into wrecks and things (I’ve been in two rollovers… I thought that was enough for one lifetime!) I go into ‘take care of it’ mode. And I do. I already called the insurance and was polite to the lady. Now.. I’m kinda going into ‘freak out’ mode. Thinking if the timing had been off even just a little bit, she could have slammed into me, drivers side, and I could have been seriously injured… but I don’t really want to think about that.

After my second rollover about 7 years ago I wandered around for a couple of days wondering if, really, I was dead and just didn’t realize it yet.

The white car up top, the Outback, is mine. See the smashed front… though I was far away when I snapped these with my camera phone. The red SUV is hers. You can probably see the scraping on her roof. She rolled.. but when I saw I couldn’t avoid her, I slammed on the breaks, closed my eyes, and held on. I didn’t see the roll, just the after affects.

Dangit… not a good way to start a Friday, but I’m glad it is Friday, I can go home and relax this weekend. No dog sports, either.

On this day..

    Cyn, I’m so glad you’re both OK. It must have been very frightening. You should treat yourself to a massage to get that back feeling better!

      Hi Clara.. thanks so much. I went to the chiropractor yesterday, a massage would be a great idea too though!

      Hi Pam, thanks. Yes I am SO glad the dogs were not in the car. Usually I only have them seat belted in on the freeway. From now on, though, they will always be seat belted in. Driving is just so scary!

    I am so glad you were not seriously injured!
    I know it is hard, but try not to dwell too much on what could have happened..Just stay in gratitude that you are are physically ok.
    Hugs!

      Thanks Ann! I will try not to dwell on the ‘could haves’. Though I get flashbacks now of seeing the crash, feel the anxiety with it, and I’m afraid of intersections. UGH.

    Oh no! I’m glad you’re okay! Good thing it’s Friday and you’ll have a couple of days off to rest. I agree, that’s a horrible way to start a day.

    I’m so glad you and the other person were not hurt! Go get a massage and a chiropractic adjustment before you stiffen up too much. You’ll be glad you did!

    I’m also glad you didn’t have any dogs in the car with you. That would have been terrible!

    Take care!

    OMD!!! I’m late and didn’t know. I am sooooooo glad you are (well, kinda) OK. As OK as you can be after going though that. I’m so glad you didn’t have the pups with you. OK, now I’m getting the heavy breathing stuff going just thinking about how we felt with our accident last year. Big, big, big sloppy kisses and hugs from us….time will heal. But we understand!!!!! Wuvs you!!!! Woofs, Johann
