well.
on my way back to ft. worth yesterday, I got into a pretty bad car wreck.
I exited off the highway into Centerville to get gas.
I stopped at the stop sign. I looked left and then right.
I then proceeded to take a left turn. After I had crossed the first lane I saw a car come over the hill. I tried to increase my speed in order to miss the car. The car swerved to the left and clipped the inside of my car on the left side back wheel.
I have some bruises on my shoulder from the seatbelt and the back of my neck is really sore. The girl in the other car was histerical. She was totally shocked and crying the whole time. Her airbags had come out and it really scared her. I felt so bad. I even appologized to her which you're not supposed to do in these types of accidents.
I just feel so stupid. It's not like I didn't look either! There was a hill to my left that I wasn't able to see over. The tow guy said there was an accident the night before at the same place. However, the people in that wreck were still in the hospital. Some guy got thrown from his car. He said I was lucky. Somehow I still don't feel so lucky.
We had to get the tow truck to tow us all the way to ft. worth. Luckily Jeremy had a triple A card. It cut the bill in half. It cost us 300 dollars to get towed all the way back to his apartment. I'm guessing that means the total would have been somewhere around 500 to 600 dollars. Those tow people were the first ones at the scene of the crime too.
It happened so fast that just about as soon as I got out of the car, a million people were around us. Then it started snowing. :P Life is so wacked up sometimes.
I just hope the girl doesn't sue me. She was pretty mad at me. I don't blame her though.
I'm sure in her mind, I somehow saw her and gunned it. I hate people being pissed at me. Her parents had to drive in from two hours away to pick her up. I'm sure they were cussing me out all the way back home. UGH.
Anyhow, Jeremy took the day off today to help me fix my problems up. We have to call the body shop and get them to come tow it away. A few of my belonging including my computer case were damaged. I have to go see about repairing and replacing a few things.
My cats were okay too. Dessy was scared to death though. Tigger's cage got knocked on its side. I think they're doing fine now. The tow guy was really nice. He stopped on the side of the road to turn our car's heater on. He thought the cats might get cold since everything was icing over. He said he had a cat just like tigger.
I'm going to go call the body shop now.
I think I'll also take some tylenol as well.
