Well.....how do i start this one. Let me just say that this is a story from about 2 weeks ago. I just got home yesterday so now i finally have a chance to tell my horrible story. On thursday the 8th I was in a sever car accident.we were in Daytona Florida. 3 hours away from our final destination Palm Beach. My mom had just started driving 5 min before it happened. Someone swerved into us on I95 and we swerved out of the way, then coming back onto the highway the driver swerved at us again. That time tapping us and throwing the car into the median. The median was grass and about the width of the school football field. As the car fish tailed my mom lost control of the car and it began to roll over. It rolled 4 times. Sitting in the front passenger seat I shut my eyes tightly and braced myself for the impact of the car hitting the ground as glass and dirt filled the car. The car landed upright on the other side of the median in on coming traffic. I was the only one that remembers what happened. After the car stopped rolling I just herd my dad screaming "Tatum...Tatum" at the top of his voice. Opening my eyes I saw that Tatum(lil sis) was laying at the edge of the highway furthest from the median. Thats right she was thrown from the car and rolled across the highway. My dad ran to her rescue, while i sat in the car checking on my mom. All i rebmember seeing as i turned to my mom was her arm covered in blood. I tried to get out of the car but i couldnt it was jammed. I crawled out of the window. Not knowing what i was saposta do, looking around seeing my mom on a stretcher surrounded my medical staff from the ambulance, and then seeing my sister getting help and just screaming was the most scaring thing. I found my cell phone on the highway and immediatly called my grandmother that we were on our way to see. Then after that the police wouldnt let me move. There wasnt anything i could do for my sister or mother, they were being put into an ambulance. So i called the first person that came to mind Kendra. But she didnt answer so i called her mom......I love her mom. I talked to her and she told me kendra was playing in her lacrosse game. So i hung up. Kendras mom pulled kendra off the field and told her to call me right that second. So as I sat in the hospital waiting, cause my mom was getting tested and i couldnt find my sis and my dad was in a room getting checked. So i sat there alone for hours and kendra called. I just started balling. As soon as i said we got in an accident she started crying. But later i found out what was wrong with everyone. my mom as 3 fractured vertabretes...she has to wear a neck brace...shes up and walking around. Tatum has a fractured wrist and collar bone. And i dont really know whats wrong with him. As for me i waled away with lots of cuts and bruises. That was the worst thing thats ever happened to me and i can never forget it.
