I don't even remember if I posted about this, the past 3 weeks have been kind of a blur.
I have had 2 car accidents in 3 weeks. The first one I was rear ended by a big van, then he ran away. My passenger and I managed to get his tag number, and the police found him a few days later. I had a moderate whiplash and some other soft tissue damage in that one, but was able to get out of the cab and have dh drive me to the hospital.
Last week a young girl ran a red light in front of me, and I could not get stopped in time to avoid hitting her. She was on her cell phone, with an unrestrained infant in the car. She said it was all her fault, but it was no big deal. She is not from here, not familiar with the area and did not know there was a light there. Like that should make it ok. I have 6 witnesses and the news crew from the local news that just happened by right as the accident took place. (Ironically, they were doing a piece on how bad traffic in Jville has gotten recently.) They caught her on video saying it was all her fault, but she did not think it was a bad accident. She was saying this as they were taking me out of the cab on a backboard. She would not allow the EMTs to check out the baby. She got angry because I would not get out and talk to her. If I could have gotten out, I felt like beating the *rap out of her. I have a major whiplash, muscles torn loose from my spine between my shoulder blades, 2 sprained ankles, it has aggravated the previous injuries, some memory loss, and I was on the 6 o'clock news. I kept telling the guy with the camera to get the hell away from me and get the camera out of my face. DH heard it over the radio and came immediately, and chased the guy away when he got there. I would have loved to have seen that part of it. I saw the guy run away behind the truck. I did not see it on tv, but I guess everyone else in Onslow county did. How embarrassing!
My cab looks trashed, but the fleet mechanics said it could be fixed easily.
