Well this all happened ten minutes
till 8am in the morning on the way to w
ork listening to my favorite
song on my cd player Headstrong from Trapt. When I was going
over an intersection which I had a green light and I slowed down
because some one in front of me was turning and then I looked
both ways before I started going across. I saw nobody on my left
or right side so I started to drive across since I had the green
light and I was going about 30. Then I noticed half way across
the intersection and noticed a car on my right side speeding
like crazy and I noticed he was not stopping for the red light
and he just kept going.
I did not know what to do because I have never been in accident
before. So I just slammed on my breaks because it seemed like
there was no way I could swerve to avoid but that did not work.
Because all a sudden I noticed I hit him on his driver side rear.
Then my
front airbags came out in one point one second. Everything
got so quiet my music was not on and I don't hear my car. Everything
seemed like it was in slow motion.
After that I think I blanked out because just second later I
noticed my car stopped. So then I reached for my seat belt to
take it off and then I got out of my car and the first thing
I looked at was my car because I loved my car it was my baby.
I saw how bad the damage was I started screaming and shouting
at the stupid guy that ran the red light and killed my baby.
Well all that guy did is stand there did not say word to me for
one thing he noticed I was very pissed off at him. Then afterwards
I starting feeling the pain from the airbags that left burns
on my neck, upper arms, chest, a busted left knee, and a busted
lip and I also bit my lip too.
One of my co-workers informed my work of my accident and took
my the ER. I had no broken bones they said but I am still having
problems now like bruising from the seat belt on my left side
shoulder and my left knee. I had three witnesses to my accident
one was a co-worker driving in front of me who saw it all happen
in her rear window and the second was another co-worker who was
driving behind me for which she told me that I spun about 3 times
around his car and then slowly went to the left of the road luckily
no one was on that side of the road The third one was a sales
man outside of a dealership where my car hit the curb at. Needless
to say my car was totaled out for $9,500 worth of damages and
the guy who hit me did get ticketed but I think he should get
more then a ticket he was driving very crazy. Also his insurance
never contacted me for a rental car or anything until a month
letter with a letter after my insurance took care of it. Well
I did get another beetle because I think they save lives more
than anybody knows.
I have enclosed pics of my vehicle damaged and my replacement!
