I nailed her. Straight on and she had two kids in the car.
I hate to burden all of you including myself for writting this dribble out but I'm having a bad day. After getting off of work at 2:00am yesterday morning I went directly home and got 3 hours of sleep before school at 8:00am. I sat through class on my caffiene high as usual and crashed right afterwards. It all went just like clockwork. I get home and am on my way to the Houston Zoo to see a friend.
Driving down my street I debate wheather to go to the bank or Autozone first where I want to pick up one of those visor cd-carrier things. (They are 10 dollers cheaper than Best Buy) I make a left heading toward the Autozone first because Its more out of my way. I get there and they will not take my credit card because its not in my name so I head off dissapointed. I jump back in my car and go toward the bank. I go through a light and come upon the next light which was green. I was 50 yards away when It turned green so I was cruzing at the speed limit when I got to the light.
There was a 18 wheeler which had just cleared the intersection when I came up to the intersection. What I didnt see because my view was blocked by other cars was another car behind the 18 wheeler still in the middle of the intersection. She had apparently run the light (witnesses on both sides of the street say she did) and tried to follow the 18 wheeler throught the intersection.
So anyway, Im coming along at 35 miles an hour into the intersection when lo and behold a car appears stopped directly in front of me. I had no where to go so I slammed on the brakes. As I was slidding toward her I was thinking, "This is actually happening TO ME". What a egotistical thought to have right? But I digress,. I slide the 20 feet directly into the side of her car. There were 2 kids in the backseat WITHOUT THEIR SEATBELTS ON. A 2 year old and a 5 year old. The two year old WAS in his carseat at least so that's good, but he did manage to get a cut behind his right ear. May have needed a stitch or two but I highly doubt it.
So the cops came and an ambulance and they wrote out a report giving her a ticket for running a red light along with not having insurance and not having seatbelts on her kids. They all went to the hospital as she might have had whiplash although how you get whiplash when hit from the side is beyond me (maybe someone could explain this). She seemed fine though so I wasnt worried. I got a ticket for no inspection ticket and no insurance. I am getting insurance on my car tomorrow. I tried today but couldnt do it in time. Im an idiot for not having insurance. I was waiting for the title to come in the mail so I could sign it over to my mother to put in her name. I got the title 2 days ago. I guess sitting around with my thumb up my ass entertains me too much for me to get out and do the important stuff.
There was no damage done to my car. A scratch on the bumper and that's it which isnt much when you think about how hard I hit her. On the other hand her car had to be towed away with both passenger doors crumpled in. The car I hit was a early 90's corrolla and while I did damage the car it still kept the kids inside which is a relief. The back passenger window was blown out completely. This is right where the 2 year olds car seat was. I hope to God that he didnt hit that window with his head. It didnt look like he did and he looked fine when I took a look at him. He was alert and followed my eyes with his eyes so I highly doubt he hit the window.
The lady was a perfect product of industry. From moments after the wreck untill she stepped into the ambulance 25 minutes later she was on her cell phone. For the first minute she was talking and I never saw or heard her talk again. She spoke only spanish I think. She understood when I asked if she wanted me to call an ambulance but wouldnt get off to call one so I had to find someone in traffic to find a cell phone to call for an ambulance.
An hour later I was on my way with a couple scratches on my bumber and that's it. I was lucky. Very lucky. My car is otherwise completely unharmed and I'm getting insurance on monday.
