On the morning of January 20, 2007 I did not have a good experience... and 4 days after my birthday might I add! Well I had an early morning work meeting at The Hoge! I was driving home after the meeting and it was morning and about 2 degrees outside! I was driving past the church just south of Harmons going the speed limit of 35.
I was cruising along and all of a sudden I see this car pull out in front of me, out of no where! Before I knew it I slammed right into the side of the car! I hit it head on, T-boned it! Both cars ended up smashing into a bush in someones front yard! The old lady had thought it was a 4way stop and pulled out in front of me! I remember just starting to cry. I couldn't think. I got out of the car and went and sat on the curb. I looked up and the Jeep was trashed. The other lady's car's windows had shattered, but no one was hurt!
The old lady came up to me and said "This is all my fault! I am so sorry. I wasn't paying close enough attention." I just told her that it was ok and that accidents happen. I called my dad right away and the other lady called the cops. Soon my dad got there and we talked about it. I had to explain it to the cops and I gave them my identification and insurance stuff.
It was SO cold outside and so I was shaking out of control. The cop told me to go and sit in his car. I actually got locked in haha because I closed the door! When my dad got there he came over and sat inside with me and... closed the door! Haha we were both trapped in the car! Good times! There were some witnesses and it wasn't my fault.
I was clear!
This is the Jeep all banged up! It is totaled! I was SO upset because I loved that car! This is the Jeep at the shop after it had been towed! I felt SO bad about breaking the car. I remember that being my very first thought after it happened, I ruined the car and my parents are going to be so disappointed!
This is the Jeep's front light... BROKEN! Way sad. I remember the car smoking and freaking out about it! Not a good day. The good part was I wasn't hurt at all. My neck was a little sore afterwards but that was it! I was mostly scared of driving and had nightmares about it for a while! Now whenever I approach a 2 way stop I slow down and look both ways! Driving is an awesome thing but at times can be very scary! I learned that day to not trust old lady's... haha just kidding! I learned to always be cautious because you never know what could happen!
car crash.
