I just had my scare for the year!

[AmberLee]

OMG! So glad you're okay. If you are feeling up to it, may I urge you to follow Phred's advice. It sounds great to me.

Good grief - the things that happen over there while we're sleeping here!!

{{{Hugs}}} Tonya - hope you're feeling less shaky now - in fact fully recovered would be good.
I echo Phred - I think the police should be informed and your car checked thoroughly.

Good grief, Tonya! I have had something fly out of a truck bed before on the interstate and it scared me to death, but it wasn't a tire!! I'm glad you're ok.

[ramanth]

EEEEK!!! Glad you are okay Tonya! How scary!

I hope the car is faring okay.

[Stenograsaurus]

I sure am glad you are okay. I also ditto what Phred said.

[Cataholic]

WAH???? How scary, Tonya! So glad you are okay. What a close call. Two wheels? EEK!!!

My sister-in-law was on a country road behind a truck carrying rocks. A large rock came through her windshield and knocked off the head rest on the passenger seat. The truck didn't know it had happened and kept going. If a passenger had been sitting there instead of the head rest it would have been.....

glad you are okay Tonya....

Glad your're ok!

And funny that you should mention this because just on my way home last night I came as close as I've been to being in an accident in a long long time! I was just minding my own business in the fast lane (3 lane highway). I could see the cars further up were starting to slow down. Mind you I said starting to slow down. Well, the guy in front of me must not have been paying attention and he panicked and slammed on his brakes and came almost to a complete stop! Needless to say I had to slam on my brakes - no ABS - and when I did the car pulled to the right really hard I tried to recover and turned back to the left. I've got a 4-wheel drive Tracker (SUV) and I could feel it whipping around and it flashed through my mind that I was going to roll over....if I didn't hit somebody first.

Well, the good news is I didn't roll over and the moron in front of me started moving again so I didn't hit him, but thank goodness I had left enough room between us, and double thank goodness there was nobody in the middle lane or I would have swerved right into them! Whew! Needless to say I was a little shakey afterwards, but like you, I was close to home so I just kept going.

Weird, that two of us should come so close on the same day at almost the same time.

How scary!! I'm glad you are safe. That sounds like a close call. You deserve a nice relaxing day.....Close call accidents are really scary.

A couple of years ago I was drving down the highway while it was raining. I was going about 40, which was considerably slower than anyone else on the highway. Well my truck hydroplaned and did a tailspin across four lanes of highway!!When it stopped it hit the median the wall and I was facing oncoming traffic in the shoulder lane. Amazingly, no one hit me AND while my rear bumper was cut in the back there was no fuctional damage to me or my truck. Se besides the embarrassment of the cop having to stop traffic on the highway so I could turn my truck around and the fact that I was scared out of my wits, no real damage done. It has taken over two years for me to be able to be in a car while it's raining and not have mild panic attacks. I gave up that truck and got a Ford Focus which handles itself quite nicely in the wet.

Thanks for all the well wishes, guys!

I have a bump above my eye where I hit my head on the window. It's pretty sore but otherwise ok. My car on the other hand... ugh! There's something loose I think. Everytime I go over a bump, there's a strange noise from the right side. Guess, I'm going to have to have it looked at. Not exactly what I was looking forward to spending my next paycheck on, but it needs to be done.

Thanks again!

[RobiLee]

That sounds very scary. I'm glad you are ok. It would have taken me quite a while to calm down.

Yikes Tonya! Glad you're alright, like someone here said - There's an angel looking over you! A guardian angel!
