Iced Road #2
So I went and visited my friend yesterday. I brought her a care package: vitamin C, extra strength headache relief, tissues, junkfood, a flannel blanket and of course some movies to dull the senses. I felt a little akward going to her parents house because it was filled with family. I was actually shaking a little. There really are no words. They all fall short. When I saw Kelly I just hugged her and cried. I stayed for a few hours just taking things in but after a while I felt out of place so I hugged the three sisters goodbye and left.
This would have been a nice enough ending to my story but you see I needed to buy some food; the fridge was empty and so was my stomach. I went back into town bought out the store and continued on my way home. The roads were fine, it was daylight and I tee-boned a car going 70ish on a backroad. A little ironic after seeing my friend and all.
I was coming over this hill/knoll doing the speedlimit (70-80) and at the top I saw this car coming up to the stop sign on the right. It wasn't stopping. I used my horn and still the car did not stop. I swerved to the left to try and avoid it and then I teeboned her. Both air bags went off, I couldn't breath from the airbag gas and I could see the lady I had pinned in her car. I phoned 911 with my cell and was lost in my shock. It seemed to take forever for people to get to the scene. My car door was stuck and I couldn't get out. They brought my by ambulance to the hospital just to be safe. I'm fine- just a little back and neck pain. Nothing the T3's won't help with. The doc also gave me muscle relax drugs. The woman in the other car broke her collar bone and I think she needed some stiches. I feel so bad about her injuries but really it wasn't my fault. She was the one who ran the stop sign and I had right of way. It was a little scary talking to the cops. They make me nervous to begin with let alone being investigated by one. My car is done. I'll have to find a new one which sucks cause I just put in a new starter, plugs, battery and wires. I had to take the day off work too so now I'm losing money. I guess John will have to drive me to the funeral on Sat. and maybe I can borrow one of my parents cars for work next week.
What a messed up day.

Man, that sucks! sorry to hear about your luck. it could always be worse though, at least no one was hurt.
I actually broke the other woman's pelvis and she needed stiches. I feel bad but I really couldn't do anything. I think she's being charged with careless.
I almost drove in to a guy running across the street near the university yesterday.
I shakes you up eh? I finally got a rental car but it doesn't even have winter tires on it. The roads are all ice up here and I was actually storm stayed in my house for a couple of days. I like the snow but really I can't wait for it to be gone.
