My poor car
Sep. 13th, 2010 11:28 amI was in an accident today. I rear ended someone on the death trap known as 94 westbound before the lowry tunnel. This death trap has been even worse since they have had construction on this stretch of road a couple months ago.
Basically, while I was checking to see if anyone was in my blind spot the girl in the car in front of me had to stop suddenly and I hit her. I was only going about 30 miles an hour so it wasn't too bad except my airbag went off which freaked me out*. The state tropper that helped us off the road and wrote up the accident told us that we were the third accident he had written up in this area that morning because of all the merging.
Now we will see if my brand new car (2000 miles) will get totalled or repaired. Either way I'll be driving Zach's car for a month. BTW, this makes me glad I bought a new car. Hoopty wouldn't had done as well in an accident like this.
*Don't worry, I am happy my airbag went off. Also, the girl was much less freaked out than I was, which was good because she called 911. I was still trying to think for a moment there.
