The accident I was involved in with my wife and 12 y/o daughter
happened on March 5, 2003 at 9:20 PM, a mere 6 hours after I
took delivery of my very first brand new car ! I picked up the
car, a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire, about 3:30 earlier that day, came
home and got the family to go for the obligatory drive in the
new car. We took a drive up the Fraser Canyon to Hope for dinner
at McDonalds, and then drove back home through Agassiz to our
home in Chilliwack. My wife then went down for a nap before I
drove her to work ( graveyard shift...).
We all hopped in the car when it was time to drive mom to work,
and got about 2 blocks from home, when an impaired driver that
was tail-gating a vehicle coming toward me, turned left right
across my path. I never even saw the vehicle until it turned
across in front of me. There was nothing to do but hang on and
hope for the best !
Both vehicles were travelling at about 50 kmh, we were all wearing
our seatbelts, but the other driver wasn't. We collided so hard,
the other car was turned back around the direction it was coming
from. The other driver of course hit his steering column, and
actually bent the column upwards. After I had checked my family,
I went to his car and found him sitting in the footwell on the
passenger side of his car. He was pretty beat up, but otherwise
ok, thankfully.
Both cars were total losses as you can see, mine having only
163 km on the odometer ! I don't know how the other fellow is
doing since the crash, but myself and family are all slowly but
surely healing from seatbelt injuries and whiplash. Always remember
to wear your seatbelts ! They DO save lives !!
