We had some severe weather (thunderstorms and a tornado) here on Monday. To some people that may not seem too bad, but if you live in Maine it's bad because you are never prepared for this kinda weather (especially tornadoes)
Anyway, I was on my way home, it was my last day of work before my 12 day vacation. I was barely even raining when I left the building. I was on the interstate, it started pouring and I could barely see out the windshield. I saw flashing flights a little ways ahead of me, but I didn't see the parked car on the road until I was too close, since it didn't have lights on. (Dark, raining, no lights on, of course I couldn't see it) I could either hit the vehicle, or try to quickly switch lanes, little did I know that I would lose control of the car while switching lanes. I moved lanes so quickly that I just swerved and hit a guardrail, I hit another one before finally coming to a stop. The filled with smoke, I put the windows down as I tried to collect myself and waited for traffic to clear so I could get out. I know it's not a good idea to move after that bad of an accident, but I couldn't stay in the car, and I was mostly unharmed. I went to the ither side of the car to get my phone off the floor, the passenger door was jammed, but persistence payed off and I got it open just enough for me to reach in and grab it. Those flashing lights I mentioned, an ambulance that decided to stop for the vehicle to make sure they were ok (I was told that someone was seen fleeing the scene, no one was found in the car) and they had seen me crash. It wasn't long before cops showed up (again, there for the other vehicle, but since I crashed they also had to check out my situation and get my info) My parents came to pick me up and the car was towed away. The follow morning we are told that it's totaled.
I have a picture of the car from the morning after the crash, if anyone would like to see it.
I relied on that car to get me to my destination safely everyday, and, although it didn't get home, I did, so I would say that it did it's job. I may have bruises on my knees, my wrist, and a scrape on my neck from the seat belt, but I got home safely. It was a good first car, handled well even in the winter. Shame it's gone now.
We'll be using the insurance money to get a new one, this one will actually be in my name and I'll be paying monthly for it for a few years. Unfortunately we don't know when we'll be getting the money, so we don't know when I'm getting the car, so I don't have a car for the time being. I have gotten over it for the most part, but I will not be taking the interstate home anytime soon.
