Hello, this is my car accident I was recently involved in.
This is my 2006 Chevy Cobalt XL. The other vehicle is a 2004
Ford Freestar Van. I was riding down the road on my way to go
pick up some friends when I came to a slight curve in the road.
The driver of the other vehicle didn't bother to take it on their
side of the road. We collided head-on, we was both traveling
at 40 mph which was the speed limit on the road. The curve went
left for me and right for them and they said they was looking
down and didn't see that they came across into my lane. My skid
marks were clearly on my side of the road. I was wearing my seatbelt
and didn't get hurt bad. If I hadn't been wearing it I would
of died!
I recieved a broken foot, leg and arm. I also got lots of bruises.
My chest was bruised from the seatbelt. The other driver who
wasn't wearing his seatbelt got a broken leg, pelvic, hip, arm
and suffered a concussion. He also has some spinal cord damage!
I was in the hospital for 6 hours then released. The other guy
was in the hospital for a while. They found the accident as their
fault as it clearly was! That was a good car with 16,000 miles
on it. I never want to be in another accident again! That is
the most scary feeling. I thought the car had blown up when the
airbag deployed. The smoke from it filled the car. The other
persons insurance came through and paid for everything without
a problem.
Which is kind of a surprize, cause I'm only 17 and I thought
they was going to say "He's just a kid! A inexperienced
driver that was on the other side of the road!" Some insurance
companys do that so they don't have to pay. Both vehicles were
totalled. My friends were mad when I didn't show up, but when
they heard I was in a head-on collision, they felt bad and was
worried. They showed up at the hospital to see me! I'm thankful
I didn't get severely hurt, or killed! We was both lucky to have
made it and didn't die! It could of been a lot more worse! Pay
attention to the road. If your looking for something pull off
and check! This accident could of clearly been avoided if he
had just waited or pulled off to get what he needed. Also wear
a seatbelt! It saved my life and can surely save yours also!
