Last Friday, we were having friends over for dinner and a fun evening of fellowship. My husband sent me to go pick up a couple two-liters for dinner. I took Princess Pea with me and left the two boys with him.
Traffic is heavy through our little town at five in the afternoon, and this road I was traveling on is extremely busy.
The vehicle in front of me stopped. I stopped.
The vehicle behind me didn't stop.
I see in my rearview mirror her manuever her car to the right into a ditch but she still clips the rear right bumper.
Princess Pea starts to cry and I turn to assure her we are okay. While I am twisted in my seat, we got rear ended...AGAIN. This time I bump the vehicle in front of me.
Ouch...
I am 32-years-old and this is the first wreck I've ever been in.
I got my daughter out of her carseat. She is crying and very upset and frankly, I am rattled.
The person driving the first vehicle who hit me immediately starts getting on her cell phone and telling someone that she "just totaled my car!" I hear her give instructions on where she is and a few moments later she takes off running.
She fled the scene on foot and left her vehicle at the scene of the accident.
I fill out the accident reports and I am allowed to drive my mini-van. That's great, because we have only the one vehicle.
My daughter and I go to the ER to be checked out and we are okay, just very sore.
Turns out, that neither driver who hit me had insurance.
*sigh*
Thank God you and your daughter are both okay!
ReplyDeleteSome states require uninsured-motorist insurance coverage, for situations just like this. Hope you don't have too much financial grief from the collision.
