I've been driving since 1969 and this has been my first rather serious accident. I've only had two other "fender-benders" with very little damage.

Here's what happened. I was driving down a busy street - 2 lanes - I was in the lane closest to the oncoming traffic as I had to turn left at the bottom of the hill. To my left is a very wide boulevard with grass and trees and to the left of that was the oncoming traffic. Anyway, about 2 blocks before the bottom of the hill, a small VW hatchback tried to cross the two lane road and before I knew it, she was right in front of me and we t-boned, then my car veered off to the boulevard and crashed head on into a tree. She came from a side street and had a stop sign. I had the right of way. As far as I'm concerned, it's 100% her fault. Neither one of our airbags deployed.

I got out and called 911 and within 3 min. there were two ambulances and police on the scene. I think the other driver may have gotten some witnesses because as I was walking towards her car I could see someone punching in some numbers to his cell phone. I had no time for witnesses because the ambulance driver whisked me into the back to check me over.

We both went to the hospital in the same ambulance...me on my own steam and her on a stretcher. She complained about a sore head, ribs and left ankle. Right now, I only have only a very sore upper back, shoulders and neck. Oh yes...I drive a Chevy Blazer and the whole front end is damaged but that's all. It just confirms my opinion that I feel safer in an SUV than a sedan. Her small car had the whole driver's side pushed in the broken glass all over the place.

I've made all the appropriate arrangements....contacted all the appropriate insurance people and already have a rental car which my insurance covers. Now, it's a question of liability. Who knows what stories she can conjure up and have her witnesses say. I'm sick over this.

Thanks for your prayers and {{{hugs}}} to all.

I for one, am just glad that you are here to tell us all about it and for us to offer you support, prayers and love.

Crashed into a tree? Good grief - not your average day event!

So sorry to hear this!! I am glad you are O.K, with no SERIOUS injuries. Good luck with all the insurance issues and all that good stuff!

Slick,

Oh how I wish I had your home phone number....when I moved to CiCi and Phil's, I didn't print out my contacts correctly and only have your work number.

Slick, my mom is a auto claims adjuster...has been for over 30 years for State Farm Insurance. I'll tell her what happened. I have a feeling all your adjuster has to do is see WHERE it happened and you'll be proved NOT LIABLE. Its obvious SHE pulled out in front of you, without any time for you to avoid her. All trained claim reps can look at the situation and see that.

Call me this weekend on my cell if you can, I'll be spending the weekend with my parents. I'm sure my mom would be happy to talk to you, honey.

I'll keep you in my prayers. How are you feeling??

Love ya,
Kelly
