The Accident

I got in my first car accident last night. It just as scary as I ever imagined it would be. I honestlty have a huge fear of dying in a car accident. I think that is why I always am such a grandma driver. So let me start at the beginning.

I went to dinner last night with a couple friends from work. They invited me to go out with them afterwards, but I said that I needed to be up early so I skipped out. I still needed to run to Walmart to finish some grocery shopping. I really did not want to go that late because it is scary by me and I didn't want to bring the groceries up alone at night. But I knew that I needed something to eat and would not have another opportunity for a while. So after a thrilling time at the wally world, I start to head home.

I am driving north on Country Club Dr in the middle lane. I come up to Southern and it is a red light. I sit there for a min and then the light changes to green. I start to go forward and the next thing you know there is a white car directly in front of me. I slammed on my breaks but it wasn't in enough time. Impact. I t-boned them on the passenger side. My head bounced forward and my glasses flew off. I wasn't sure what had happened at first. Then I realized, oh my god. I just got in a car accident. I immediately felt panicked but surprisingly was calm on the outside. I took out my phone and called 9-1-1 and pulled into a dark parking lot on the corner where the car I hit had pulled into as well. As soon as I park my car, I get out, while still on my phone, and the girl that I hit walks towards me. I don't even get a chance to say anything and she is in my face, screaming numerous cuss words into my face saying how she was going to kill me for hitting her. She was about 300 pounds, hair slicked back, 21, huge t-shirt, and baggy jeans. I am in a scary part of town and I honestly thought that I was going to get beat up or seriously hurt. I held back saying anything at all and tried to remain calm. Thank goodness a police officer came up right at that moment. He pulled the girl away from me and told her that if she didn't calm down, she would get arrested.

I give all of my information to the police officer. I then find out that the driver did not have a licencse or insurance. She also did not have any papers for being a legal immigrant. Of course, right? There were 2 other people in her car. One of them was injured and they called an ambulance. So we had to wait for them to get there. She had only a few bruises but they took her in for precautionary reasons. Come to find out, the car did not even belong to her. It belonged to another lady... who thank the lord had insurance on the car. So we waited an hour for her to come.

Now, during this time, this chick is saying that I ran a red light and hit her. Now, I am telling you, I had a green light. And who comes to my rescue? A dominos pizza delivery guy! He witnessed the whole thing and said how she ran the red light arrow and was going extremely fast and I definitely had a green light. Because of this, I did not get any ticket or citation! Whew!

Unfortunately, the front of my car is badly hurt :( I have to wait until tomorrow to find out what my insurance company will be able to provide for me. I just really hope that I will not have to pay anything for this. I filed a claim with them and this lady's insurance. I am just so frustrated that all of it happened!

I am so thankful that I am okay for the most part though. My neck is sore and my head has been hurting. I also broke a nail (I know), and have a seat belt burn arcoss my chest. But that is probably the best situation that could have happened. I definitely know that I have an angel watching over me and protecting me. <3

As I drove away, I believe that the girl who hit me was being arrested. And let us hope deported back to Mexico.
