so yesterday, around 2pm, i was driving home on the queensway from bringing cupcakes to a girls last day at my work, and spending melissa and suzanne's lunch hour with them. the roads were kind of slick and somehow my car just spun out randomly and i slammed on the brakes. this sent my car speeding into the rear passenger door of another car. we got locked together, did a 360 on the queensway and then went barrelling into the side of the road, with me narrowly missing slamming the car headfirst into the snowbank median.
i couldn't move or stop screaming. the passengers from the other car came running over to check on me. they told me they were fine and wanted to make sure i was. i got out of my car to see the damage and realized i'd hurt my leg and hobbled around my car and theirs. i crushed in their rear passenger door, and the front left hand side of my car. they called the OPP.
the OPP called an ambulance for me. so an ambulance and fire truck came, which was so embarrassing. i have a bump and a bruise on my leg, and a bruise on my arm and a sore neck. i had to sign a computer saying i didn't want to be taken to the hospital and they left. then the tow truck came and took away the cars.
it was honestly the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. i couldn't sleep last night because everytime i closed my eyes i saw my car slamming into theirs, i saw my car spinning in a 360 on the queensway. yesterday i was really upset and burst into tears and hysterics when i tried to explain it, but as the day went on, i seemed fine. i guess i was in shock because now i'm freaking out again pretty bad. and i'm scared about what's gonna happen with my car and theirs. my insurance is going to go up, and i dont even know if i'll have a car when this is done. they might decide that it will cost more to fix it than my car is worth.
i just really need something to keep my mind occupied so i stop thinking about this.
