:(
I was involved in an accident on my way home friday...Luckily i was wearing my seatbelt and i came out of it fine, but my car is totaled. :(
It was extremely scary and i'm still in some disbelief about it. But thank you all who know and have been asking me how i am. I'm doing good...i didn't even feel sore the next day. i was very lucky.
Here's what happened....
I was driving on 231 in the left lane when i looked down for a second and went to grab something, before i knew it i was going off the road a little on the left and so i turned my wheel right to get back on the road but i over compensated and the car started fish tailing and going out of control, luckily i didn't hit anyone but eventually my car slid off the road to the right and ended up flipping over in a small ditch...as soon as the car stopped moving i unbuckled my self and scrambled to find my door handle...i pushed my door open and climbed out and stood there barefoot not believing what had just happened...as i climbed out of my car i was already surrounded by people that had stopped to see if i was ok... and i felt fine except for being all shaken up and scared.
Now a couple days later i still think about it and can't believe that i came out of everything with just some scratches on my foot. In case anyone was wondering the turtles made it safely too.
It was the scariest thing i'd ever really been through...Now i don't have a car and i'm all stressed out and everything but i'm glad i'm alive thats for sure. i just feel so stupid because i was so close to home, just 30 minutes away and all i did was look down for one second, and i've done that so many times on so many other different occasions. It's so scary how just one second could change everything. If only i had kept my eyes on the road for a little longer or if i had turn my wheel more calmly to get back on the road...there are just so many things that i think of now. It all just happened so fast i mean before i knew it i was crawling out of my car. I had just spoken to my parents too only like 10 minutes before it happened....tomorrow i'm going to the towing place to get the rest of my stuff out of my car...and to say bye to my car. I wish this was all a lie...so that i could just wake up tomorrow morning and have my car in the driveway and just be ready to go. But it's not and i guess we'll just have to see what we can scramble together.
