Not My Lucky Day
The inevitable happened yesterday. Meghan and I were driving in my truck to the mall in order to have her necklace inspected, and we forgot to grab the paperwork. We were at an intersection, and so I checked to see if I could make a u-turn. I looked ahead to see if any cars were coming, I looked behind me to see if any cars were coming in the other lane, then I looked ahead again. I hit my blinker to merge and then turn left, and as soon as I started to merge, BAM...I got nailed by a Ford F-150.
My vision went all cloudy as my airbag DID NOT deploy, and I managed to control the truck and pull over onto the opposite shoulder. During the collision, my head hit where the seatbelt attaches to the inside of the cab and shattered the cover. I have a nice bump now, and my head bled a little bit. Meghan's head bounced off the headrest, and she's suffering from a headache and some mild whiplash.
The police were called, and we had an ambulance sent over tight away. Meghan went to the hospital as I stayed to talk with the officer and fill out an accident report. I took some photos of the damage with my camera phone. My truck is trashed. There's no way it can be fixed and road-worthy again. I've already called my insurance company, and they're going to have an adjuster call me either Monday or Tuesday. We'll move on from there.
We're both feeling a bit better now, and we got a script for some Flexoril for Meghan. I also need to keep an eye on how I'm feeling and call the insurance company back if I feel any worse. I'll also be sure to update on the situation as it progresses.
