I must have a target on my cab! On 3-23-10. I was rear ended by a big Dodge van, had whiplash, strained muscles, aggravated the arthritis in my neck and back, and pulled several muscles away from my spine. The other driver took off, but my passenger and I both got his tag number, so he was caught.
Yesterday I was coming back from the airport and a stupid girl ran a red light in front of me. I managed to get slowed down enough to not hit her broadside, and we hit my front passenger side, and her rear passenger. Fortunately it was near a busy part of town, and there were 6-7 witnesses standing 20 feet away and saw what happened. She did not even try to say it was not her fault, and I hit her. She was so reckless, she was speeding through a busy intersection, and said she did know the area and did not know there was a light there. She had an infant with her, not in a car seat, and she would not allow the child to be checked out at the ER.
It could have been much worse, though, a few seconds earlier and it would have been much worse, and I would have been hurt a lot more, as well as the girl and the baby.
As it is, I have both sprained ankles, bruises from the seat belt, whiplash, strained glute muscles, (the big muscles on your butt for those of you not familiar), a bigger tear in the already torn back muscles, and now the arthritis is is much more aggravating. Nothing life threatening, but I feel like I have been hit by a bus.
Sorry if this rambles a bit, I am on heavy pain meds and muscle relaxers.
