el accidente!

Oct 18, 2008 01:05

I was just driving home, and was about to go through an intersection with a green light. A car that was stopped on the cross street to my left started inching forward and then decided to either go straight or turn left in front of me. I swerved to the right to avoid hitting it and swerved back left to get back in my lane, and my car started spinning in circles (it was very cinematic!) , and the side hit the divider, knocking my foot on to the accelerator, sending my car in a faster spin and into the oncoming traffic lane. Thankfully no cars were heading towards me. I managed to get my foot off the accelerator and back on the brake pedal and pull over. Then I turned around to face the proper direction and headed home, heart racing. The metal underneath my rear passenger door is a little ripped up and the door is harder to open and close. There's a burny smell which I assume is burned rubber from squealing tires. I'll have to take another look n the morning when it's light out. Other than adrenaline overload I seem to be fine...
