I was in a car accident this weekend.....
It was the scariest thing that ever happened to me I think....
It was Saturday day, and me, my mom, and my 2 nieces and nephew (age 7, 12, and 4) were driving to halifax to visit my grandparents. Where they live is probably..6-7 hours drive from here. Anyway, it was REALLY raining. I remember thinking it looked like a snow storm cause you could barely see the road. I wanted to get there so bad cause I hated driving in it. I had to slow down a bit though cause the visablity was bad...
I don't even remember what happened to be honest....I remember driving along and all of a sudden the car was kinda shaking back and forth then it started spinning. I don't remember SEEING the car spinning..I don't know if I closed my eyes or blacked out for a minute. I remember my mom saying something about turning the wheel (I was driving btw) but I just started screaming. We stopped in the ditch and I guess I just kept screaming and screaming till mom calmed me down. The airbags both went off and mine hit me in the face. It hurt a lot!!
Thank GOD no one was hurt badly. The kids were totally fine (thank god!) and me and mom only had some cuts and bruises.
The car looked horrible though. The airbag thingie broke the front window...the side of her car was all smashed up and 2 of her tires were flat/broken. I felt so bad. I kept saying it was my fault and I thought mom was mad at me. I've always thought of myself as a good driving...I'm always careful. I later found out that the treads on her tires were worn to 30% so I guess they weren't exactly safe for that type of thing.
My mom's insurance JUST went down 300 dollars for her not getting in accidents..and now it's gonna go back up. I felt so bad cause she doesn't have a lot of money...I don't even know that she has 500 for the deductable...-sigh-
It was sooooooooooooooo scary. I've never been in an accident like that before....Never want that to happen again!!!
Her car was undriveable so we needed to rent a car to get home. Insurance paid it though....We got a Chrysler 300 (http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/pw/images/05_300_4.jpg) It was a really nice car! Drove nice...I felt safe in it...but I hated driving. Mom said I should do it, or I never will.
