Bad night
So last nite at around 3 am I was slowly dosing off to dreamland, I hear a screeching sound from outside and just calmly thought to myself "Someone should slow down in this fog" (it was a really foggy night) when the next thing I heard is a huge boom and my whole house shakes. I jump out of bed starting to freak out because it hit me that my mom should be coming home during this time of the night. I thought she had crash the car into the garage because of the slippery road. I ran downstairs into the garage to see the beam in between the two garage doors completely caving in, I tried to open the doors but the beam was too warped. This fueled my fear even more, I ran back into the house calling for my dad as I ran up the stairs. "DADDY! DADDY! I think mom drove the car into the garage I can't open the doors to see" My dad jumps out of bed and comes running after me, I ran back into the garage and out the side door thinking that I can get out from the backyard through the side fence door. I was dead wrong, there squished against my fence, was my dad's van. I couldn't open the fence door at all, I ran around the house to get to the other fence door. Out the door and to the garage I ran...
To my relief it was three boys sitting on my lawn, the car that crash wasn't my mother. First thing I asked was "Are you all okay?" and thank god they were fine. I looked to the side where the garage was to see to my horror, a Pontiac squishing my dad's van against a corner of my uncle's Benz and into the garage. The van was completely totaled, the Benz driver headlight smashed and that whole side was warped. The beam to the garage almost completely gone except for the wooden frame. The three boys that were in the car were shooken up but completely fine. The boy that drove was only a young one, I'm guessing he just got his licence and he fell asleep at the wheel. The poor thing will not be driving for a long time.
The cops told us that we have to decide if we want to move the cars because there might be a possibility that the garage might collapse if we do. We had to wait about an hour for a contractor to come look at the garage to decide. The cars were all towed within a few hours and we were done with the cops around 6am this morning. The thing that really really sucks is that we were almost done paying off the van in a few days and now we would only get the current market value for it when the van had many more years to go on it. I also had to get up at 10 to go monitor a final exam and then mark it. It's been a rough 24 hours.
Post note: I forgot to mention! LUCKILY!!!! The Camry that my mom drives and the Acura 1.6 is usually the ones in the garage. Good thing is that the Camry was out with my mom at the time and my brother took the 1.6 to waterloo with him. So it could have been 4 out of 5 of our cars out of commission.
