Thank God i am still alive
So last night I thought would be like an ordinary night. I got home from school around 5:00 because I stayed later with Russ so I could possibly get done some more of my Biology test. I got home, ate some dinner, chatted it up on the internet because we finally got that bad boy working, and then around 7:30 I went with my dad to drop off my two brothers at my brother Billy's basketball game and then he took me to my mom's work to pick her car up. I needed to borrow the car to ride down to lauren's so I could type my Biology test because for some reason microsoft works wasn't working on my computer. lauren didn't even get done work til 8:00 and she wouldn't be at FKD terminal until like 8:30, and that's where i was gonna pick her up from. well since i had time to kill i decided to head down to russ' house to pick my bag of clothes up from the night before when i slept there. he was suppose to come with me to lauren's house so i could type my paper but he got into some trouble and wasn't able to. he gave me 10$ for gas because i was afraid i was going to have to push myself home later on. we kissed and said i love you and then i remember pulling away, saying to myself, 'my God it's fucking pouring'. as i was pulling away i remembered to put my seatbelt on. i was driving down richmond st. and i started going a little fast because, i always drive fast, but when i had some trouble stopping at a measly stop sign i thought, okay, maybe i should slow it down. so i turned off of richmond onto bridge st.
when i was driving down bridge, this mac truck was next to me and i know alls i was worried about was passing him becuase he was taking up some of my lane and i was going into the other lane with oncoming traffice, my car's big too. so as i'm driving to cross under that underpass where you get on the train and where it's the two lanes that are the off ramps for 95, i completely didn't see the red light, i was busy looking at the light behind it that was green, and i kept going, but then i tried slamming the breaks and i started hydroplanning, and then i stopped in the middle of their lane, and they had a green light coming off 95, so i started to go again to get out of their lane so i didn't cause an accident and then i seen out of the corner of my eye, this white car coming off 95, so fast, they were definitely speeding, i just remember screaming and they slammed the passenger side of me, they hit me so hard that the air bag on that side went off and then my car flipped, i remember my head smashing the window next to me, and shattering it. when my car flipped all the windows on my driver's side shattered and i was hanging out of the car by my seatbelt. my legs were pinched in between the dashboard and the steering wheel. my car flipped onto two other cars that were stopped at the red light on the other side. i know i had a concussion because i blacked out when my head hit my window. when i woke up i heard a woman screaming bloody murder and crying going "SHE'S DEAD, WHAT THE FUCK, SHE'S FUCKEN DEAD! OH MY GOD, IT'S A GIRL! SHE'S ALONE? I THINK SHE'S ALONE? OH MY GOD PLEASE SOMEONE HELP HER, SOMEONE FLIP THE CAR BACK OVER" i could hear everyone but i couldn't move. i heard the wheels scretching becuase the car was still on, and the wind sheild whippers were still going crazy. finally i heard a guy yell "SWEETHEART!, IF YOU'RE ALIVE IN THERE, PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU, TURN THE CAR OFF, OR IT'S GOING TO BLOW UP!" thank God i regaind conciousness and i screamed and turned the car off, and then i heard a bunch of guys yelling "cover your head, cover your head!" so i did and they said "WE'RE GOING TO SMASH IN THE BACK WINDOW SO I CAN CLIMB IN AND CARRY YOU OUT!" so they did and then some random guy was laying on top of me saying "it's alright sweetheart, the ambulance is on it's way, don't worry, i'm right here with you.." i'm histerical, i couldn't even catch my breath, i was screaming and crying so loud.
then when the ambulance finally got there a paramedic climbed in who knew my mom and said "i got you now, oh my god this seatbelt saved your life, you know if you didn't have this on, you wouldve broke your neck" so then that upset me more, but i think it was because i was just more thankful. so the paramedic asked me if i could climb out of the back but my legs were so badly pinched that i couldn't move anywhere, i was literally hanging upside down from my seatbelt, if i would've took that off i wouldve fell and cracked my head and smashed it in glass. so then the paramedic said he was going to stay with me the whole time in the car because they needed to use the jaws of life to get me out. they smashed in my mom's front window to put a blanket over top of me. and then i heard a saw cutting off my mom's roof. it took they a half hour to get me out of the car. finally when the whole was big enough they picked me up and put me on a stretcher. and put me in the ambulance. my mom's car was completely totaled.
i went to temple, got x-rays, cat scans. but absolutely nothing was wrong with me. i mean my knees are pretty banged up, black& blue and swollen but nothing serious. and thank you God. I can't believe i survived that. i really can't. my grandmom, mom& dad all came to the emergency room and were all histerical crying. my grandmom said "someone up there likes you". and the girl who was in one of the cars that mine flipped on to, said she would say a prayer for me. i was discharged from the hospital that night, but we're being sewed by the white girl who smashed me, and i guess thats understandable, i did slide into their green light by accident. no one was badly hurt. it was on the news this morning, it just said "4 car accident in bridesburg last night". i can't believe this happened to me. i'm just really thankful i'm alive, and that i did use my seatbelt.
PLEASE PLEASE EVERYONE WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING WHERE YOUR SEATBELT AND PAY EXTRA ATTENTION AND GO SLOW WHEN IT'S RAINING/ICY/SNOW. it takes something like this to actually make you change how you drive. it sucks i had to be the example.
