I’m at the ED at hospital. My mum was in a really bad car accident. Thankfully it’s just bruising but it could have been much, much worse. Her car was totalled. Driving up to the accident seeing all the police / ambulance / fire truck lights and then her totalled car was truly scary. I’m just thankful she’s OK. Waiting to do scans to make sure nothing is broken, then I’ll drive her home.
Good job totalled car, it crumpled on her behalf. Drive gently on the way home. One of my repeated memories of post accident issues was how much the drive home sucked because I was all beaten up and resisting the mild g-forces as a passenger was suddenly a painful struggle.
You just reminded me of an accident I was in as a teen where we had to go over the railway lines to get to the Drs, and then again to get home. The whiplash!
