Last Thursday I got in a car accident on the way to work. A fly forward glasses fly off my face kind of accident. My airbags didn't go off though so that is good, well i guess it's good but it sorta made me wonder what would make them go off. BUt air bags are scary so I"m glad they didn't go off. Me and
@YesThatCasey were on our way to work early and were stopped on wehrle when a car smahsed into the back of my car and pushed me into the car in front of me and that car into the front of them. We all pulled over on the side street which weirdly enough happened to be the street my cousin lives on.
The lady in the front car also worked at IHA and I had just given a presentation to her department the other day. Casey call the po po while we all exchnaged information and took pictures of each other's cars.
The weird part is the car in front me had like no damage. It was a van but like the front of my car was pushed up and sutff but the back of her car looked like it had no damage. And the car that hit me, the front of their car was smashed but the back of my car was just had like a few scratches. The guy at the collison shop said when they take off the bumper a lot of times they find more damage than it seems.
When I tried to turn on my car it made this isansely loud scary sound. I was gonna call AAA, well actually I had casey call AAA and pretend to be me because I freak out but the police officer said the sound was ok and was just the shaking of things from the accident. Not sure why I trusted him , he wasn't a mechanic but he was a man in a uniform and frankly that seems like they must know about cars if they are in uniform.
So then I go to work and really since we were going in early I was still on time! So I didn't even really get to miss any work!
Luckily both casey and I felt fine. Though the next few days my neck was sore but it seems to be going away.
Anyway now I have a rental and my car has $3000 in damage. I was nervous it was going to be totaled even though it didn't seem super damaged and I wouldn't have enough to buy a new car so I was so glad it was only $3000. The car won't be ready until next week so I have a rental. It is an altima and it is a lot nicer than my car. It has that keyless press button start which freaks me out.
I haven't heard from the insurance yet but I am pretty sure it has to be the girls fault who hit me.
This was my first accident I was ever in that was like scary and smashy and glass flying off the facey but I survived.
